"Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus" by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is a Gothic novel published in 1818. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature from different body parts in an unorthodox experiment. When the creature awakens, Victor flees in horror, setting in motion a tragic chain of events. The creature, initially innocent, learns language and seeks acceptance but faces only rejection. Embittered by humanity's cruelty, he demands his creator take responsibility, leading to devastating consequences that reach from Geneva to the Arctic. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
