Description
Shelley's novel reframes the Frankenstein story not as a simple cautionary tale but as a tragedy of abandonment, where a lonely creature articulates his own suffering in philosophically sophisticated language. The monster becomes the moral center of the book, forcing readers to confront their own capacity for cruelty toward the abandoned and other.
