Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley released her book Frankenstein in 1818. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who develops an obsession with creating life, is the main character of the narrative. He ultimately succeeds in constructing a creature that resembles a human, but he is appalled by how it looks and gives up on it. The monster becomes furious and tries to end Victor's life after being abandoned by its creator and despised by society. The book examines issues including ambition, the risks associated with scientific research, the effects of seclusion, and the strength of human passion. As one of the first works of science fiction addressing the moral consequences of scientific progress, Shelley's book was revolutionary for its day. It also questioned conventional gender norms since Shelley was a woman who wrote in a profession that was mostly male. Since then, Frankenstein has emerged as a cultural icon and has been portrayed in a wide range of movies, plays, and other media. The book still has an impact on readers today because it poses significant queries about the place of science in society and the effects of our choices.
