Mary Shelley’s classic novel, arguably the first science fiction story ever, embodies our desire for innovation and warns that the attainment of success, no matter how grand, carries with it the weight of repercussion and lasting consequence. Man's reach may often exceed his grasp, but in the case of Victor Frankenstein and his forbidden experiments, man’s reach far exceeds his nerve. The stitched abomination that he raises is an affront to nature, but the creature is merely a byproduct of unrestrained ambition, leaving us to ask the question: who is the true monster?
