Through the tragic story of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, Shelley warns against the pursuit of knowledge at the expense of ethical responsibility. The novel illustrates how the isolation and rejection experienced by the creature ultimately lead to his descent into violence and despair, highlighting the profound impact of social alienation on the human psyche.
