Top Frankenstein Flashcards

‘Frankenstein’ is one of those stories that everyone thinks they know - until they actually read it. It’s the story of a brilliant scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who discovers the secret of animating dead flesh. With this technology, he creates a monster out of parts dug up from the graveyard, but immediately loses control and unleashes it on an unsuspecting world.

Far from a mindless killer, Frankenstein’s monster is a complex, thinking being who has human thoughts and desires. He turns against his creator not out of rage or stupidity, but for deeply human reasons of vengeance and resentment. Towards other human characters, Frankenstein’s monster is capable of being kind, reasonable, and even loving.

The novel is one of the classics of gothic horror, along with Dracula and The Castle of Otranto. Moody and evocative, these novels are perfect rainy-day reading, but they also convey complex messages about humanity and its place in the world.
