Hopefully this helps, I find spark notes are good! What analysis are you looking for specifically?
We're doing the Picture of Dorian Gray too but not Frankenstein.

Hey Thanks so much, I'm looking for Worlds of Upheaval analysis and mostly political and social context? Thanks

For political and social context, I would look into the aesthetic movement as well as the role of the Dandy.
This website has chapter by chapter analysis as well as theme tracking. https://www.litcharts.com/lit/the-picture-of-dorian-gray
If I come across anything else I'll let you know. Good luck!

As @foxxraven recommended, definitely do discuss aestheticism. You could perhaps also research/explore:
- doppelgänger motif
- narcissism
- how social/scientific manipulation can have detrimental consequences
- appearance vs reality; consider the representation of society’s attitudes towards seemingly good/bad appearances in each text
