Frankenstein

Work:: Frankenstein (S20305905)

followed nature into her lair, and stripped her of her secrets! I brought torrents of light to a darkening world! Is that wrong? Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. All I ask is the possibility of love! Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.
