After months of hard study, he makes a huge creature out of different human organs. He then discovers a method of bringing it to life. However, when the creature opens its eyes, Victor is terrified because his creature looks like a terrible monster. He runs from his laboratory and becomes very ill for almost two years. After he recovers from his illness, he meets with the creature. The creature tells Victor how he has suffered for the past two years. He tries to be friendly to people, but no one likes him, and they attack him because he is so ugly. He has been so angry with Victor and has killed his younger brother. After telling his story, the creature demands that Victor make another creature, a female one to be his companion. If Victor does as he asks, he will go away with the new creature and never bother Victor again. Will Victor agree? This book is rewritten from “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” by the English author Mary Shelley (1797- 1851), which has been translated into over 100 languages and made into plays and movies many times.

The best-selling student edition on the market, now available in a Second Edition. Almost two centuries after its publication, Frankenstein remains an indisputably classic text and Mary Shelley’s finest work. This extensively revised Norton Critical Edition includes new texts and illustrative materials that convey the enduring global conversation about Frankenstein and its author. The text is that of the 1818 first edition, published in three volumes by Lackington, Hughes, Harding, Mavor, and Jones. It is accompanied by an expansive new preface, explanatory annotations, a map of Geneva and its environs, and seven illustrations, five of them new to the Second Edition. Context is provided in three supporting sections: “Circumstance, Influence, Composition, Revision,” “Reception, Impact, Adaptation,” and “Sources, Influences, Analogues.” Among the Second Edition’s new inclusions are historical-cultural studies by Susan Tyler Hitchcock, William St. Clair, and Elizabeth Young; Chris Baldrick on the novel’s reception; and David Pirie on the novel’s many film adaptations. Related excerpts from the Bible and from John Milton’s Paradise Lost are now included, as is Charles Lamb’s poem “The Old Familiar Faces.” “Criticism” collects sixteen major interpretations of Frankenstein, nine of them new to the Second Edition. The new contributors are Peter Brooks, Bette London, Garrett Stewart, James. A. W. Heffernan, Patrick Brantlinger, Jonathan Bate, Anne Mellor, Jane Goodall, and Christa Knellwolf. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
