Overview
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a Gothic novel by Mary Shelley. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a living being from assembled body parts. The novel explores themes of creation, responsibility, and the consequences of playing God. Although when people use the name "Frankenstein," they are usually referring to the creature, in fact, Dr. Frankenstein does not give his creation a name. Instead, in the novel, Frankenstein's creation is referred to by words such as "wretch", "monster", "creature", "demon", "devil", "fiend", and "it". When Frankenstein converses with the creature, he addresses him as "vile insect", "abhorred monster", "fiend", "wretched devil", and "abhorred devil". Film director Guillermo del Toro describes Frankenstein as "the quintessential teenage book", noting that the feelings that "You don't belong. You were brought to this world by people that don't care for you and you are thrown into a world of pain and suffering, and tears and hunger" are an important part of the story. He adds that "it's an amazing book written by a teenage girl. It's mind-blowing." Professor of philosophy Patricia MacCormack says that the Creature addresses the most fundamental human questions: "It's the idea of asking your maker what your purpose is. Why are we here, what can we do?" (Lucy Todd, BBC) Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA.
