Gothic Literature

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who dares to challenge the natural order by creating artificial life. Driven by ambition and a desire to understand the secrets of existence, Victor constructs a living creature from human remains, only to be horrified by the result. In a clash of science and nature, Frankenstein’s creation finds itself lost and isolated, seeking purpose, acceptance, and revenge on his creator. Shelley’s classic novel explores the deep ethical questions of scientific discovery and the struggles of identity and loneliness.

Blending elements of gothic horror and philosophical inquiry, Frankenstein delves into the darkest corners of ambition and the enduring conflict between science and morality. It is a work that questions the role of the creator and the rights of the created, a timeless exploration of human nature and suffering that remains as relevant today as when it was first published.
