Notes

The novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who creates a sentient being through unorthodox scientific experiments. This creature, often mistakenly referred to as "Frankenstein," grapples with rejection and isolation due to its monstrous appearance. The novel delves into the moral and ethical dilemmas of scientific advancement, the human need for companionship, and the destructive power of vengeance, making it a profound commentary on human nature and the limits of scientific exploration.
