"Frankenstein" by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who becomes consumed by the ambition to create life. After extensive experimentation, he succeeds in animating a creature from gathered body parts. However, repulsed by his creation's grotesque appearance, Victor abandons it, leading to catastrophic consequences. The creature, yearning for acceptance and companionship, experiences profound loneliness and rage, ultimately seeking revenge against his creator. As the two are drawn into a tragic cycle of despair and vengeance, the novel explores themes of ambition, isolation, and the ethical limits of scientific exploration.
