Mary Shelley's Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who creates a hideous humanoid creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. The creature is rejected by Victor and society due to his monstrous appearance. As the creature faces loneliness and lack of compassion from others, he devolves from a sensitive being into a vengeful "fiend." Shelley uses the story as a cautionary tale of the dangers of scientific progress and as a commentary on society's tendency to fear and reject those who are different.
