- 1. Frankenstein, often subtitled 'The Modern Prometheus', is a novel written by Mary Shelley that explores the complex interplay between ambition, humanity, and the darker aspects of scientific exploration. Published in 1818, it tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist consumed by the desire to unlock the mysteries of life and death. Driven by his insatiable thirst for knowledge, he devises a plan to create life from dead matter, ultimately bringing forth a creature that defies the natural order. However, the being, often referred to as Frankenstein's monster, is met with horror and rejection from society due to its grotesque appearance, leading to a tragic chain of events. The novel raises profound questions about the responsibilities of creators towards their creations, the nature of monstrosity, and the consequences of playing god. As Victor's pursuit of knowledge spirals into obsession and despair, Shelley delves into themes of isolation, the quest for acceptance, and the moral implications of scientific advancement, making 'Frankenstein' a timeless and cautionary tale that resonates with contemporary discussions about ethics in science and technology.
