The Original Gothic-Horror Literary Classic! Mary Shelley's deceptively simple story of Victor Frankenstein and the creature he brings to life, first published in 1818, is now more widely read-and more widely discussed by scholars-than any other work of the Romantic period. From the creature's creation to his wild lament over the dead body of his creator in the Arctic wastes, the story retains its narrative hold on the reader even as it spins off ideas in rich profusion.

Mary Shelley
Nicht mal eines Namens wurde das Geschöpf für würdig befunden, immer heißt es nur die Kreatur oder das Monster, Frankensteins Monster. Der Doktor Viktor Frankenstein hatte einen perfekten künstlichen Menschen schaffen wollen, aber was bei seinem Experiment herauskam, war so abschreckend, dass es nirgends zugehörig sein durfte. Der absolute Outsider.
  Wenn er in ein Dorf kam, fielen die Frauen in Ohnmacht, Steine wurden geschleudert. Das naive und empfindsame Monster floh aufs Land und erklärte der menschlichen Spezies den Krieg. Mary Shelleys „Frankenstein“, erschienen 1818, ist ein revolutionäres Buch, das von Identität und Freiheit handelt. Zur Kultfigur wurde das Monster 1931 durch den Film von James Whale – der als Homosexueller ums Außenseiterdasein wusste. Da fingen die Menschen an, sich ihrer eigenen Monstrosität bewusst zu werden. Und so etwas wie sympathy for the monster zu empfinden.
