  • Summary

  • This podcast episode is from excerpts recount the narrative of Victor Frankenstein, from his privileged Genevan upbringing and early intellectual pursuits to his creation of a sentient being and the ensuing tragic consequences. We see Victor's youthful fascination with natural philosophy lead to his dangerous experiment and subsequent horror at the result. The text details the creature's perspective as he observes humanity and experiences rejection, ultimately leading to his acts of vengeance, including the murders of Victor's loved ones. Through journal entries and direct narration, the sources follow Victor's tormented pursuit of his creation across Europe and into the Arctic, culminating in a final confrontation and reflection on their intertwined fates and the devastating impact of ambition and neglect.
