Notes
"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley is a seminal work of science fiction that captivates readers with its striking descriptions, profound themes, and complex characters. Shelley's evocative prose immerses readers in the chilling and desolate landscapes of the novel, from the icy wilderness of the Arctic to the eerie and atmospheric laboratories where Dr. Victor Frankenstein conducts his experiments. The novel delves into themes of ambition, the consequences of scientific discovery, and the inherent hubris of humanity. At its core, "Frankenstein" grapples with the moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding the creation of life, as Victor's creation, the creature, becomes a symbol of both scientific advancement and its unintended horrors. The characters, particularly Victor and the creature, embody the theme of the pursuit of knowledge and the quest for power, exploring the complex interplay between creator and creation.
