"Frankenstein" by Pauline Francis is a modern retelling of Mary Shelley's classic novel, exploring themes of creation, ambition, and responsibility. The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but obsessive scientist who is determined to unlock the secrets of life. In his quest for knowledge, he creates a sentient creature, but the joy of discovery quickly turns to horror as the being he brings to life is rejected by society. As the creature grapples with its existence and seeks acceptance, Victor is forced to confront the consequences of his hubris, leading to a tragic confrontation that examines the boundaries of humanity and the nature of monstrosity.
