In an age of gene splicing, stem cell research and Computer Artificial Intelligence, Mary Shelley’s dark gothic tale contains a stark warning message for us all in this modern age. The novel is as much about the struggle that Dr Frankenstein’s creature has with what it means to be human as it does about the creation of life itself. The key takeaway for the reader is just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.

Obsessed with wishing to create new life, scientist Victor Frankenstein scours graveyards to stitch together body parts in a fevered attempt to bring a man to life.
