Frankenstein's Monster

Frankenstein's Monster is a fictional character created by author Mary Shelley in her 1818 novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus." The creature is an artificial being, assembled from body parts and brought to life by Victor Frankenstein, a scientist. Instead of being monstrous, the creature seeks companionship and understanding but is rejected due to its appearance. This story explores themes of creator responsibility, isolation, and the ethical implications of scientific exploration. Often mistakenly referred to as "Frankenstein," the monster serves as a symbol of humanity’s struggle with its own inventions and the quest for acceptance.
