Although the story of Frankenstein is well known and commonly referenced, experiencing the original novel is well worth the endeavor and illuminates the true depth and complexity that is often missed in modern references. A tale not just of monsters and dark shadows, but of hubris, romance, regret, loss, adventure, morality, isolation, and much more. Science student, Victor Frankenstein, attempts a new and dark experiment, successfully bringing life to a powerful and grotesque being. Shocked and appalled, his negative reaction sends the confused and now enraged creature into a quest for revenge, while simultaneously searching desperately for acceptance, knowledge, and understanding. Frankenstein must contend with not only the more predictable consequences of such a beast, but also with knowing he, himself, is the ultimately the orchestrator of the mounting destruction, the damaged mind and purpose of this living thing, the losses that occur during both creator and creation's journey, as well as the destruction he must now seek for the life he created.
