Frankenstein
Overview & Summary
Obsessed with conquering death, young scientist Victor Frankenstein assembles and reanimates a creature from harvested body parts, but is horrified by his creation and abandons it -- setting off a tragic chain of events as the intelligent, deeply lonely creature, rejected by everyone including its own maker, turns to vengeance. Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, written when she was just eighteen, is widely considered the first true work of science fiction and a foundational exploration of scientific responsibility.
