Let’s clear something up right now:
Frankenstein is NOT the name of the monster.
It’s the name of the scientist who created him—Dr. Victor Frankenstein. And honestly… the real monster might be him. 😬
🧬 What’s the story?
Written by Mary Shelley (when she was only 18!), Frankenstein tells the story of a young scientist who tries to play God by creating life from dead body parts (ew, but also cool). The result? A creature who just wants to belong… but ends up feared, rejected, and very angry.
🎃 Why it’s still epic today:
-
It’s part horror, part sci-fi, part tragedy.
-
The “monster” is actually super deep—he reads books, questions life, and asks “Why was I made this way?”
-
It’s the original “I messed up and now everything’s on fire” story 🔥
-
It was one of the first science fiction novels. EVER.
💡 Themes like:
-
What happens when science goes too far?
-
Can you be a villain if no one ever gave you a chance?
-
Who deserves forgiveness?
Yeah, this book goes way beyond lightning bolts and creepy labs.

If you created life… would you take care of it, or run away like Dr. Frankenstein did?
