Frankenstein's Monster is a fictional character created by Mary Shelley in her 1818 novel, Frankenstein. The creature is often mistakenly referred to as 'Frankenstein,' which is actually the name of its creator, Victor Frankenstein. The monster is a tragic figure, brought to life through an unorthodox scientific experiment, and struggles with feelings of abandonment and isolation. Throughout the story, the monster seeks acceptance and understanding from humanity but is met with fear and hostility. This conflict raises profound questions about the nature of creation, responsibility, and what it means to be human, making the character a lasting symbol in popular culture.
