Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's masterpiece, also known as *Frankenstein*, is considered the "mother of science fiction literature." In it, the young scientist Dr. Frankenstein gathers different human organs and tissues from morgues and other sources to piece together a monster, which he then brings to life. The monster is intelligent and kind, but due to his hideous appearance, he is regarded as a monster by humans. After experiencing many hardships, the monster asks Dr. Frankenstein to create a female monster as a mate, intending to move away from human society with her. Out of concern, Dr. Frankenstein ultimately destroys the female monster, leading to retaliation from the creature.
