-Frankenstein*

W, 1988 by Mary Shelley

Notes

"Frankenstein," written by Mary Shelley and first published in 1818, is a seminal work of Gothic literature and a pioneering science fiction novel. The story revolves around Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who becomes obsessed with creating life. He succeeds, but his creation, often referred to as Frankenstein's monster, is a grotesque being who is shunned by society and becomes vengeful. The novel explores themes of ambition, the quest for knowledge, and the consequences of playing God, while also delving into the nature of humanity and isolation. Shelley's work raises profound questions about the ethical limits of scientific exploration and the responsibilities of creators toward their creations.
