Description
Did Victor Frankenstein really create a monster? What do you call a living being who was put together from animal and human pieces - and infused with the spark of life? Do you call him human or non-human? What makes Victor Frankenstein more human than his creation? Frankenstein was first published in 1818 when Mary Shelley was twenty years old. Two hundred years later, the themes of humanity and scientific creation remain relevant for our modern society. Likewise, modern readers will recognize the human experiences, such as depression and physical deformity, which shape the characters and motivate their actions. Victor Frankenstein suffers from depression, and the ‘creature’ suffers rejection based on his physical appearance. Their personal experience is woven into the existential question – what makes us human? This line-by-line adaptation preserves the spirit of the original story in language that is transparent for modern readers.
