Frankenstein
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
When we unleash creations we cannot take responsibility for, who is truly to blame for the resulting tragedy?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Many know Frankenstein as the name of the monster, but it is in fact the name of the creator who made it. What drew me deep into this novel was not mere horror, but the tragedy woven from the desperate loneliness of an abandoned creation and the irresponsibility of its maker. Amid the scenery of human intellectual desire stretching endlessly outward, I wonder whether any other book poses so chilling a question about creation and responsibility.
