Frankestein is a young, idealistic student of natural philosophy. He creates a freak by discovering the secret of giving life to matter. Rejected by its creator, the monster, even if its heart is kind and its temperament is gentle, arouses fear in those who see it and is forced to hide from society. The freak, whose loneliness increases and is isolated day by day, becomes ruthless and attempts to take terrible revenge on his creator.
Frankenstein; It is the first and most important literary masterpiece of the Enlightenment Thought, expressing the ideal of overcoming the human-nature opposition in favor of humans. Frankestein, where an 'extreme' positivism dominates at times, describes in an epic manner the dramatic existence of alienated people in a 'disenchanted' world. Mary Shelley, who skillfully combined science and fiction, deserves the title of being the pioneer and creator of science fiction, in a sense.
