review

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a gripping Gothic tale that warns of scientific hubris. Victor Frankenstein, driven by the ambition to create life, abandons his grotesque creation upon its awakening. The creature, intelligent yet shunned, becomes a tragic figure consumed by isolation and vengeance, highlighting the importance of empathy and the destructive power of rejection. Shelley uses nested narratives and a moody, Gothic setting to explore the subjective nature of truth and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity. A timeless classic, the novel remains a poignant reminder of the moral responsibilities that accompany scientific progress.
