FRANKENSTEIN

INTRODUCTION
Frankenstein is science fiction that was written in the 1816s and published in
the 1817s by Mary Shelly, a 20-year-old girl. This ageless masterpiece
examines the intricacies and outcomes that arise when humans meddle with
nature's processes and becomes entangled in creation and morality. The
tragedies of man vs nature are explained in this gothic story with supernatural
overtones that has successfully inspired some of the future novels like “Dracula
by Bram Stoker”, “The island of Doctor Moreau” and it continues to inspire
numerous films and stories.

The narrative starts with the life of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist
obsessed with creating artificial life through manipulating natural processes,
despite the horrifying repercussions of his actions, after his mother passed
away. However, when he robs the creature of its individuality, it gradually
becomes resentful and vindictive after experiencing severe rejection from
society, and his own invention turns into his own downfall. Through letters to
his sister and his beloved, the scientist in this epistolary novel reveals the sad
components of his story. A gothic novel's true essence is revealed by Shelly's
evocative descriptions and subtleties that add to its atmospheric and
philosophical quality. It gradually and methodically creates in the reader's mind
a profound contemplation about how the scientist's participation with nature's
workings cost him the majority of its priceless relationships and how it
gradually reduced him to living alone like the creature, where the artist becomes
part of his(art) work.

CONCLUSION
Among the best classic books ever written, it demonstrates, in a flawless way,
how nature reacts to human influence and serves as a model for all subsequent
generations, particularly the civilization of the industrial revolution. I heartily
urge everyone to read this, especially those who value philosophical profundity,
gothic literature, and moral quandaries. This timeless classic offers a gripping
experience full of drama, intriguing characters, and symbols of love and care for
the natural world and its consequences.
