Forbidden Knowledge: The Tragedy of Victor Frankenstein

This retelling draws inspiration from Mary Shelley's groundbreaking 1818 novel, a work that fundamentally transformed the landscape of speculative fiction and remains one of literature's most enduring meditations on ambition, responsibility, and the limits of human knowledge. Shelley's
narrative—framed as a series of confessions and letters—presents the tragic arc of Victor
Frankenstein, a young natural philosopher consumed by the dream of unlocking the secrets of life itself.
