Frankenstein labors to create a new race of intelligent beings. He spends his nights scavenging
body parts from graveyards  slaughterhouses  and hospital dissection rooms. By day  he
experiments in his secret laboratory  perfecting the creature who  he believes  will worship
him as a god. But when he succeeds  Frankenstein is horrified by the ugly brutishness of the
patchwork being he has brought to life--and abandons his creation to dramatic ends ... Literary
history and meaning: Frankenstein  by Mary Shelley  was first published in 1818. It is often
regarded as the first science fiction novel and a seminal work of Gothic literature. Its
importance as a classic literature work lies in its exploration of the human condition and the
ethical dilemmas raised by scientific innovation. Frankenstein has had a profound impact on
popular culture  inspiring numerous adaptations in literature  film  and other media  and its
themes of creation  identity  and alienation continue to resonate with modern audiences. Its
relevance today is evident in its exploration of ethical issues surrounding emerging
technologies  such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering  as well as its enduring
commentary on the human quest for knowledge and the pursuit of power at any cost. It is a
terrifying story about how monsters--of all kinds--are made.
