| Summary | "Frankenstein, ou le Prométhée moderne Volume 1" by Shelley is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story explores profound themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of tampering with nature, primarily focusing on the character of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist driven by an insatiable desire to conquer the secrets of life and death. The opening of the book introduces us to Robert Walton, an explorer writing letters to his sister, Marguerite, as he embarks on a perilous Arctic expedition. Walton expresses his enthusiasm for discovery and solitude but reveals a deep longing for companionship. Throughout the letters, he describes both the beauty and the dangers he encounters in the icy wilderness, eventually witnessing a mysterious figure on a sled pursued by an immense creature. Walton’s fate intertwines with that of Victor Frankenstein, whose tragic tale he is destined to learn, setting the stage for the exploration of human ambition and the haunting consequences of unchecked scientific experimentation.
