É impressionante pensar que este romance foi escrito por uma jovem de apenas dezoito anos. Shelley utiliza o horror não para assustar, mas para discutir responsabilidade, ambição e solidão. O verdadeiro monstro nunca é apenas a criatura, mas também o homem incapaz de assumir as consequências de seus próprios atos. A escrita mantém um tom melancólico que acompanha toda a narrativa, fazendo do livro muito mais uma tragédia do que uma história de terror. É um clássico que continua relevante sempre que a ciência avança mais rápido do que a ética.
