"Frankenstein" is a novel written by Mary Shelley. It is considered to be the
first true science-fiction story, blending elements of the Gothic novel and
the Romantic movement. The story is told in a frame narrative, with Captain
Walton as the narrator. Victor Frankenstein, the central character, becomes
obsessed with understanding the world and creates a humanoid creature through
his experiments. However, he is repulsed by his creation and flees. The
creature, abandoned by his creator, seeks revenge and demands that Victor
create a female companion for him. Victor reluctantly agrees but fears the
consequences. The story follows their tragic journey, with Victor pursuing the
creature across Europe and into the Arctic. The novel explores themes of
creation, responsibility, and the consequences of playing god. Mary Shelley
drew inspiration from her own life experiences and the works of other writers,
such as John Milton's "Paradise Lost." The novel has had a significant impact
on literature and has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and television
shows.
