summary:
A brilliant synthesis of contemporary philosophy, literary influences and personal vision. A fable of the modern Prometheus. Frankenstein's presumptuous act of creation, although begun with the best of intentions, is doomed to failure, for man cannot hope to penetrate the secrets of nature. In recounting this chilling tragedy, Mary Shelley demonstrates both the corruption of an innocent creature by an immoral society and the dangers of playing God with science.
