Book Review

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a Gothic masterpiece and an early sci-fi landmark. The novel follows Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who creates life but abandons his intelligent, grotesque Creature. Rejected by society, the lonely Creature seeks revenge, blurring the line between monster and man. Shelley’s themes—ambition, isolation, and moral responsibility—remain timeless. The Creature’s tragic eloquence challenges readers: Is the true monster Victor’s hubris? A cautionary tale on unchecked science, Frankenstein endures as a profound exploration of humanity’s darker impulses.
