Description
The rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open. Victor Frankenstein's monster is a being of grotesque appearance, stitched together from the limbs of the dead. Rejected by his maker and starved of human companionship, he sets out on a journey to seek his revenge. This chilling tale of a young scientist's desire to create life and the consequences of that creation continues to resonate today, as Mary Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty, and the pathway to forgiveness.
