“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” (Albert Einstein). Mary Shelley does a fantastic job guiding readers down the rabbit hole of ambiguity. She leaves it to her readers to discern the meaning of her famous novel Frankenstein. Critics have mixed reviews about the novel's actual meaning and are eager to support their theories with ample evidence from the text itself. Whatever the actual meaning of the book, several major themes can be seen in the text. Frankenstein delivers this plethora of themes that illustrate the human tendency to commit bad deeds. For example, Doctor Frankenstein can't even see the evil he creates until he looks it in the face. Once he realizes what he has done, he immediately tries to cover up the critics by using whatever damning evidence they can find in the lives of Mary and Frankenstein to support their claims about the real meaning of the text. Mary even wrote in a later edition of Frankenstein that she would leave the meaning of the book to those who read it. Another aspect that reviewers look for when reading is the technique with which the book was written. In the case of Frankenstein, the writing style can be likened to traditional gothic horror. Manuel Aguirre states: “Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been studied as an example of science fiction horror; …. » (“Gothic fiction….” 3). The science fiction aspect comes from the use of new technologies to create the monster, or the horror. Gothic horror is best described as a multi-stage technique that always involves alternating between the hero and the villain. The best Gothic writers never name the true hero or villain, and Mary is no exception (British Council 332). The real monster is named by the reader, not the reader. Mary lets the reader know why Victor Frankenstein decides to create his monster through ambiguous monologue like ramblings and the critics make sure to let others know their theories behind the motives for his heinous actions. However, Victor wants to be famous and he plans to achieve this by creating a superhuman “monster”. He discovers the hidden secret of creating life and immediately goes into a state of delirious work. The actual abuse of power he commits can be seen through the lack of thought about the repercussions of his actions (Shelley 48-51). Victor refuses to recognize that he is usurping the power reserved for God alone. A famous saying I heard recently goes “Play God, pay the price”; Victor tries to play God and he definitely pays the price by creating a monster that would destroy his entire family. The thought process does not correspond to the result. Why did Victor think he could create life, usurping the power of God, with no room for error (Hunter, JED and Mary Shelley 302)? Mary Shelley tends to tell us no through her writing. Victor wholeheartedly believed that he could create human life and become a famous and revolutionary scientist. He shows his true colors by the cold manner in which he treats creation. Instead of the proud feeling of accomplishment, Victor feels the cold underside of failure. What kind of scientist
