About Frankenstein

The story of Frankenstein has a lot of lessons that connect to modern-day problems, one of them including the consequences of actions. Frankenstein also showed the world how dangerous science can be especially when playing around with life or death. Victor was playing with a power only God could have and it created a monster that he feared.

Another lesson we learn is that the society in the book lacks empathy and rejects the monster. We can connect this with the current world since humans still reject others because they look different or act differently. The humans in the story who are judged so quickly are no different than the ones who judge people now.
