Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus

Frankenstein , written by Mary Shelley, tells the haunting story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by an insatiable curiosity and ambition to unlock the secrets of life. In his quest to defy natural laws, Victor creates a living being from assembled body parts, only to be horrified by the result-a creature of immense strength and intelligence but grotesque appearance. Rejected by its creator and society, the creature embarks on a journey of self-discovery, longing for acceptance and companionship, but its isolation leads to despair and vengeance. A tale of ambition, morality, and the consequences of playing God, Frankenstein is a profound exploration of the dangers of unchecked scientific experimentation and the ethical dilemmas surrounding creation and responsibility. Shelley s masterpiece remains a timeless reflection on humanity, alienation, and the unintended consequences of human innovation.
