Frankenstein
To what extent are we truly responsible for the things we create and achieve?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read this novel, I was surprised at how unlike the familiar monster movies it was. What Mary Shelley drew was not a hideous monster but the desperate loneliness of a creation that went unloved. Victor Frankenstein succeeds in creating life, yet, unable to bear the being he has made, he flees. It makes me ask whether, behind the achievements and desires we chase today, there might be some result we have failed to answer for and left abandoned. This chilling warning, written in the nineteenth century, chills us still.
