The Bride of Frankenstein
Book •
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, first published in 1818, tells the story of Victor Frankenstein and the creature he creates, exploring themes of creation, responsibility, and alienation.
The novel combines Gothic horror with proto‑science fiction, using the frame narrative of Robert Walton to examine the consequences of pursuing knowledge without ethical restraint.
Its complex moral questions about who the true monster is and the responsibilities of creators have kept the work central to literary and cultural debates.
Over two centuries it has inspired countless adaptations and reinterpretations, including films that expand on the creature's story, such as Bride of Frankenstein.
Shelley's work remains influential for its psychological depth and philosophical inquiries into humanity and otherness.
