At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. obsessed with discovering "the cause of generation and life" and "bestowing animation upon lifeless matter," Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature?s hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.
Frankenstein , an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises rofound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

评分Shelley's story shows interesting connection between creator and its creation. The monster and Frankenstein share similar character in some aspects: both of them are curious and learn very fast. They are both hesitant, eager for love, and bear great grief....
评分关于《科学怪人弗兰肯斯坦》是评论从它诞生那天起就不曾断过,这是一切科幻小说的鼻祖,是恐怖片的源泉,很多后期艺术都有它的影子,例如雨果《巴黎圣母院》卡西莫多一角的设立以及他的性格和遭遇、《剪刀手爱德华》中也有它的缩影,甚至连最近的国产影片《倔强的萝卜》里也可...
评分很佩服玛丽 雪莱的功力,让我这个即使看的时候每页都有N个生词的人竟然也看感受到了书中人物的喜怒哀乐。 最大的悲剧也许就是你永远不能责怪哪个人,但是事情就这样发生了。The being, for I don't know what to adress it. 他没有要求Frankenstein创造自己,而Frankein...
