Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a groundbreaking work of science fiction and gothic horror by Mary Shelley. First published in 1818, the novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but obsessed young scientist, who seeks to unlock the secrets of life and death. Driven by ambition and a thirst for knowledge, Victor assembles a monstrous being from stolen body parts and succeeds in bringing it to life. However, his triumph quickly turns to terror as the creature—an outcast in a world that cannot accept his grotesque appearance—demands love, acceptance, and revenge for the suffering inflicted upon him.
As the story unfolds, Victor's creation becomes a symbol of the dangers of unchecked ambition, scientific hubris, and the moral complexities of playing God. Cast out and scorned by humanity, the creature embarks on a dark and vengeful journey that leads to devastating consequences for both creator and creation. From the icy mountains of Switzerland to the desolate Arctic wastes, Frankenstein explores the limits of human knowledge, the responsibilities of creators to their creations, and the tragic consequences of isolation and rejection.
Through a series of letters and personal accounts, Shelley masterfully weaves together themes of power, guilt, and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge. Frankenstein remains a deeply thought-provoking and chilling narrative, inviting readers and listeners to grapple with ethical dilemmas that resonate as powerfully today as they did over two centuries ago.
With its blend of thrilling suspense, emotional depth, and philosophical inquiry, Frankenstein stands as one of the most enduring and influential works of literature, continuing to inspire and captivate generations of readers and listeners alike.
