Description

In a world where the boundaries of science and morality blur, one man's pursuit of knowledge leads to catastrophic consequences. Mary W. Shelley's tale captivates readers by telling the story of Victor Frankenstein, a gifted yet troubled scientist who becomes obsessed with creating life. His quest culminates in the creation of a creature—an being that, despite its monstrous appearance, yearns for acceptance and understanding. As the creature's anguish unfolds, it raises profound questions about humanity, responsibility, and the ethical limits of scientific exploration.

Set against a backdrop of Gothic imagery and philosophical inquiry, Shelley's narrative explores the depths of ambition and the haunting repercussions of isolation. It delves into the complexities of creator and creation, reflecting the struggles of both the passionate inventor and the lonely being striving for companionship. This timeless classic examines the human condition, ultimately warning of the dangers when one seeks to play god without consideration of the consequences.
