Frankenstein

Book • 2007
Written in epistolary form, the novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant and ambitious scientist who, driven by Enlightenment-era ideas of progress and science, creates a living being from dead body parts.

However, upon seeing the creature come to life, Frankenstein is horrified and abandons it.

The creature, shunned by society due to its appearance, seeks revenge against its creator, leading to a series of tragic events.

The novel explores themes of guilt, loss, and the emotional and moral consequences of scientific hubris, blending elements of Gothic and Romantic literature.
