Frank Skinner’s Radio Days: Invention

'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Set in 19th-century Europe, the novel explores themes of creation, responsibility, and the consequences of tampering with nature. As the creature becomes self-aware, it seeks companionship and understanding, but is rejected by society due to its monstrous appearance. Driven by loneliness and mistreatment, the creature seeks revenge on Frankenstein, leading to tragic events. 'Frankenstein' is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the ethical implications of scientific innovation, while also exploring the nature of humanity and the search for identity.
