Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."

Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist, creates a living creature from body parts, only to be horrified by his monstrous creation. Rejected by society and seeking vengeance, the creature embarks on a path of destruction.
This classic novel explores themes of ambition, isolation, and the ethical limits of scientific exploration, delving into the darker sides of human nature and the consequences of playing God.

"I was the slave, not the master, of an impulse which I detested, yet could not disobey."
