Mary
Shelley's
Frankenstein
Mary
Shelley's
Frankenstein
is
one
of
the
most
iconic
and
significant
works
of
literature
in
the
English
language.
The
novel,
first
published
in
1818,
tells
the
story
of
Victor
Frankenstein,
a
young
scientist
who
creates
a
living
being
made
out
of
various
body
parts.
The
creature,
who
is
initially
gentle
and
curious,
eventually
becomes
violent
and
vengeful,
setting
off
a
chain
of
tragic
events
that
culminate
in
Frankenstein's
death. At
its
core,
Frankenstein
is
a
cautionary
tale
about
the
dangers
of
unchecked
scientific
curiosity
and
the
consequences
of
playing
with
the
laws
of
nature.
In
Shelley's
world,
science
is
not
inherently
evil,
but
it
must
be
wielded
carefully
and
thoughtfully.
The
novel
also
explores
themes
of
loneliness,
abandonment,
and
the
search
for
identity,
as
both
Frankenstein
and
his
creature
struggle
with
their
own
sense
of
self
and
purpose. Shelley's
prose
is
rich
and
evocative,
and
her
descriptions
of
the
natural
world
are
particularly
beautiful.
The
novel's
setting,
which
ranges
from
the
icy
wilderness
of
the
Arctic
to
the
lush
forests
