Though its a common one, Mary Shelleys's Frankenstein is very good for demonstrating the scientific paradigms of the 19th century, and also for reflecting the apprehension at the mass scientific advancement.

Link the theory of social darwinism drawn from Darwin's work to the idea's portrayed by Torvald towards Nora, eg her inferiotiry as the 'song-bird' while Torvald depicts himself in one scene as an eagle/hawk with his wings protecting Nora.
