Frankenstein, Chapters 1–5

Welcome to Episode 263 of The Thinklings Podcast!

In this episode, the Thinklings begin their discussion of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, covering Chapters 1–5. Together, they explore themes of ambition, grief, and longing woven through Victor Frankenstein’s story — and how Shelley’s work still speaks to questions of humanity, wisdom, and responsibility.

Thanks for tuning in to this week’s conversation!
