Join us as we discuss the novel’s historical context, the profound philosophical questions it raises, and the emotional weight carried by its characters. We reflect on how Mary Shelley's personal life shaped the narrative, and examine the moral dilemmas surrounding Victor Frankenstein’s actions. From the monster’s tragic fate to the critique of ignorance and fear, we uncover why Frankenstein remains relevant in modern literature. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of how acts of kindness might have changed the course of the story, and how the legacy of this gothic masterpiece continues to influence storytelling today.
