Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus

"Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus" — a fundamental novel that laid the foundations of science fiction and raised eternal questions about science and morality. The story of scientist Victor Frankenstein, who created and then rejected a rational being, becomes a tragic parable about the creator's responsibility to his creation and the limits of human knowledge. Through the conflict between creator and creation, the author explores the moral consequences of human choice. Mary Shelley's novel not only reflects the spirit of the Enlightenment and Romanticism but also anticipates modern discussions about bioethics and the consequences of scientific and technological progress. The image of the monster, despite his frightening appearance, evokes sympathy and encourages reflection on social isolation and the search for identity. The work intertwines philosophical reflections and emotional depth, making it relevant to this day.
