Dundee Arts Café - Frankenstein: The Books That Made The Monster
The teenage author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, was an avid reader, as her detailed diaries reveal. But her most iconic creations, Victor Frankenstein and his Monster, are fatally corrupted by their own exposure to books. Frankenstein immerses himself in the occult sciences, while the Monster turns evil after learning about humanity's misdeeds in Paradise Lost, The Sorrows of Young Werther, and the Bible, among other things.
