Frankenstein
By Mary Shelley
Thursday, April 3rd
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a haunting tale of ambition, isolation, and the consequences of playing god. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by a thirst for knowledge, creates a being from the remnants of the dead, only to be horrified by the creature’s appearance and the moral implications of his actions. As the creature seeks understanding and acceptance, both creator and creation embark on a tragic journey marked by rejection and vengeance. This timeless Gothic novel raises deep questions about humanity, responsibility, and the dangers of unchecked ambition, making it a thought-provoking read for any book discussion group.
