1. the creation

The story was first written in the summer of 1816 after a competition between the writer, Percy and Lord Byron to see who wrote the best horror story. The piece was published anonymously eight months later when the author was only eighteen years old and it received mixed emotions. "Frankenstein" was the author's first work. In 1831 another version was published and in that edition the egalitarian family unit was significantly undercut.

3. the story

Robert Walton, while he was traveling to the North Pole, saw a sleigh driven by a gigantic figure, followed by another sled. As the man on the second sled was in poor health the sailors saved him. The ship’s crew asked him why he was there, so the man said his name was Victor Frankenstein and started telling his story. Victor was obsessed with the idea of giving life to inanimate matter, so he gave life to a creature by assembling parts of corpses, but when the creature came to life, Victor fled terrified, leaving it alone. After a few days, his brother William was killed by the monster, but the housekeeper Justine was accused instead, so Frankenstein started to seek for the creature in the mountains, and when he found it, the monster told him his story.

Frankenstein, published in 1818, is a blend of Romanticism and Gothic literature, blending mystery, secrecy, and unsettling psychology to tell the story of Victor Frankenstein's monster. The novel challenges traditional Gothic supernatural elements, with the monster's origins being deliberate and not mysterious. Frankenstein also inaugurates the genre of science fiction, with many critics citing it as one of the first examples of this genre, which speculates about possible applications for advances in science and technology.
