Frankenstein, ou le Prométhée moderne Volume 2 (of 3)

The narrative follows a scientist whose obsessive experiments animate a humanlike being that is immediately abandoned; the creature educates itself, experiences social rejection, and responds with vengeance that devastates the creator's loved ones. The creator endures intense guilt, isolation, and a relentless pursuit across remote landscapes as he confronts the consequences of his ambition. Multiple first-person accounts frame the events, alternating perspectives that reveal conflicting claims of responsibility and suffering. The work probes responsibility for technological or scientific acts, the effects of exclusion and empathy, and the moral complications of punishment and mercy while maintaining Gothic atmosphere and philosophical reflection.
