Frankenstein

Mary Shelley S Frankenstein, True To Early Nineteenth-Century Romanticism, Provides A Chilling Account Of The Con-Sequences Of Tampering With Nature And Of Transgressing Human Limits To Knowledge. Like Prometheus, The Greek Mythological Figure Who By Creating Man Consigned Both Himself And His Creation To Eternal Suffering, The Scientist Victor Frankenstein And The Unnamed Monster He Creates Are Doomed To Untold Misery And Lonely Deaths. A Brilliant Reflection Of Life In A Turbulent Period Of European History, Frankenstein Synthesizes Fundamental Philosophical, Ideological And Spiritual Concerns And Is A Subject Of Constant Critique And Review In The Light Of New Interests.
