Rreth këtij libri elektronik
Mary Shelley's Gothic novel, "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus," published in 1818, stands as a haunting exploration of the grave dangers inherent in scientific overreach. At its core lies the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet hubristic scientist consumed by the desire to conquer death. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Frankenstein delves into the macabre art of galvanism, seeking to animate inanimate matter. Working in isolation, he meticulously assembles a grotesque creature composed of body parts scavenged from graveyards. However, upon giving it life, Frankenstein is overcome with horror at the result. His creation, a hideous and colossal being, becomes a pariah, abandoned and scorned by its own creator. Abandoned and embittered, the Creature embarks on a quest for revenge against its creator, exploring the profound themes of good and evil, societal isolation, and the paramount importance of responsibility. As the novel unfolds, its haunting prose delves into the mesmerizing and complex psyches of Victor Frankenstein, his monstrous creation, and a cast of intricately drawn characters. Among these are Robert Walton, the Arctic explorer who acts as the novel's narrator; Elizabeth Lavenza, Victor's adopted sister and the object of his affections; and Henry Clerval, Victor's devoted friend. The plot unflinchingly follows Victor's relentless pursuit of the Creature after abandoning it, a chase that culminates in a tragic confrontation amidst the desolate icy wastes of the Arctic. Frankenstein's significance extends far beyond its Gothic literary roots. Its cultural adaptations, from stage plays to cinematic masterpieces, have ensured its enduring presence in the collective imagination. Philosophically, the novel continues to provoke profound questions about the ethical boundaries of scientific endeavor, challenging our understanding of humanity and the nature of good and evil. By exploring the consequences of unchecked ambition, "Frankenstein" serves as a timeless warning against the perils of playing God.
