Notes
Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley and first published in 1818, is a gothic novel that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who creates a living being from dead body parts. However, instead of achieving greatness, Frankenstein is horrified by the creature he brings to life, leading to devastating consequences. The novel explores themes of ambition, the dangers of playing God, and the consequences of isolation, both for the creator and his creation. Often considered one of the first science fiction novels, Frankenstein delves into questions about humanity, morality, and the limits of scientific exploration.
