Frankenstein,
one of the world's most famous horror novels, was written
by the English author Mary Shelley. The novel was published
in 1818 under the title Frankenstein, or the Modern
Prometheus. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein,
a scientist who tries to create a living being by assembling
parts of dead bodies in an effort, for the good of humanity,
to bring the dead back to life. Instead, Dr. Frankenstein
produces a monster.
The monster, which has no name in the book, is actually
a gentle, sensitive and intelligent creature but its
hideous looks repel people and the monster is rejected
by all who see it. Frankenstein himself rejects the
monster and refuses to create a mate for him.
The monster's terrible lonliness and rejection by his
"creator" drives him to seek revenge by murdering
Frankenstein's brother, his best friend and his wife.
