“I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a landmark of Gothic imagination and one of literature’s most haunting explorations of creation and responsibility. Victor Frankenstein, driven by ambition and scientific curiosity, succeeds in giving life to a being he cannot bear to face—setting in motion a tragedy of rejection, isolation, and revenge. Pursued across storm-swept landscapes and Arctic wastes, creator and creature become bound in a desperate chase that raises enduring questions about knowledge, compassion, and what it means to be human. First published in 1818, Frankenstein remains as gripping as it is profound.
