Description
Set in a world of scientific ambition and moral ambiguity, the story unfolds through the eyes of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but troubled scientist who becomes consumed by his quest to transcend human limitations. Driven by the desire to unlock the secrets of life, he creates a being from salvaged body parts, only to be horrified by the consequences of his actions. The creature, born of repulsion and rejection, seeks acceptance and understanding while grappling with its own existence and the dark shadows of humanity.
As the tale progresses, themes of isolation, power, and the quest for knowledge emerge, forcing both creator and creation into a tragic confrontation. Mary Shelley's exploration of the human condition illustrates the profound consequences of playing god, as the boundaries between creator and creature blur, leading to an inevitable spiral of destruction. In a gothic atmosphere, the novel challenges readers to consider ethical dilemmas in the pursuit of scientific progress.
