About this listen

Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley is a Gothic novel that explores themes of creation and responsibility. The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who becomes obsessed with discovering the secret to life. After extensive experimentation, he successfully brings a creature to life, but is horrified by its grotesque appearance and abandons it.

The creature, abandoned and rejected, is left to fend for itself in a world that views it with fear and hostility. As it grapples with its own existence and seeks acceptance, it becomes increasingly isolated and vengeful. The creature’s quest for revenge against Victor for creating it leads to a tragic series of events.

The novel examines the consequences of defying natural boundaries and the ethical dilemmas of scientific advancement. It delves into themes of isolation, the pursuit of knowledge, and the responsibilities of a creator towards their creation. Through its dark narrative and complex characters, Frankenstein raises profound questions about humanity, ambition, and the moral implications of playing God.
