博客來Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a masterpiece of gothic literature that delves into the depths of human ambition and the consequences of playing god. Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist, creates a being from discarded body parts and galvanizes it to life, but the result is a creature more monster than man. What follows is a gripping exploration of morality, responsibility, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
As Victor’s experiment spirals out of control, the novel explores themes of isolation, revenge, and societal rejection. The creature, often portrayed as a symbol of misunderstood otherness, seeks empathy and connection.
Shelley’s haunting narrative, rich in atmospheric description, invites readers into a world of moral ambiguity and the darker side of innovation.
