Résumé

Résumé : "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is an iconic piece of literature and one of the most famous classic horror novels ever written. This masterpiece is among the most outstanding Gothic literature classics and a hallmark of the Romantic period's literature. The novel was conceived by the ingenious English author, Mary Shelley, making it a must-read for those interested in Mary Shelley books. In this stirring narrative, we are introduced to the protagonist, Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious young scientist whose thirst for knowledge leads him down a dark path. Intrigued by the mysteries of life and death, he embarks on a perilous journey of scientific exploration that tests the boundaries of morality and ethics, a theme echoed in many science and ethics books. Victor stitches together parts from various corpses, utilizing a radical scientific procedure to bring a life-like creature into existence, contributing a timeless narrative to the list of monster creation tales. The moment the creature stirs into life, Victor is immediately filled with a sense of dread and revulsion. The grotesque appearance of the creature, a figure of hideous amalgamation of parts, drives Victor to abandon his creation. This aspect of the narrative marks the beginning of the somber Victor Frankenstein story. Left to its own devices, the creature endeavors to integrate itself into society, only to be met with fear, misunderstanding, and hostility due to its monstrous appearance. Despite its frightening exterior, the creature possesses a human-like consciousness. It yearns for acceptance, companionship, and love but instead faces constant rejection, stirring in it feelings of despair and loneliness. The anguish of solitude gradually morphs into a vengeful rage against its creator. In a series of unsettling events, the creature takes its vengeance on Victor by causing chaos and destruction in his life, targeting his loved ones. The tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and his creature brings forth thought-provoking questions about the limits of scientific exploration, the nature of monstrosity, and the consequences of abandonment and societal rejection. Shelley's novel stands as a profound exploration of ambition, responsibility, and the inherent desire for acceptance. This intriguing tale serves as a stark reminder of the potential perils of unchecked scientific progress and the ethical dilemmas it can engender.
Biographie : Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797 - 1851) est l'épouse du célèbre poète romantique anglais Percy Bysshe Shelley. Elle n'a pas encore vingt ans quand, à la suite d'un pari avec son mari et Lord Byron, elle entreprend d'écrire Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne, qui paraît en 1818. Le succès est immédiat, le mythe est né.
