FRANKENSTEIN; OR, THE MODERN PROMETHEUS (ANNOTATED EDITION) - BY MARY SHELLEY


"Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus" by Mary Shelley follows the story of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who becomes obsessed with creating life. He successfully animates a creature from assembled body parts, but horrified by his creation, he abandons it. The creature, intelligent and sensitive, seeks acceptance but faces rejection and isolation. This leads him to seek revenge against Victor. The novel explores themes of ambition, the consequences of playing God, isolation, and the quest for identity. Shelley's work delves into the ethical implications of scientific exploration and the profound need for companionship and understanding.
