In "Frankenstein" by Kris Hirschmann, a fresh retelling of Mary Shelley's classic unfolds. Victor Frankenstein, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, creates a living being from assembled body parts. However, his creature, misunderstood and shunned by society, grapples with feelings of isolation and abandonment. As Victor's ambition spirals into obsession, the consequences of playing god lead to tragic repercussions. The story delves into themes of creation, responsibility, and the quest for acceptance, raising profound questions about the human condition and the boundaries of scientific exploration. Ultimately, it’s a tale of horror, morality, and the quest for identity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
