  • Engage with Timeless Themes: From the blasphemous implications of creating life to the existential questions it raises, Frankenstein has been banned for its exploration of themes that are as relevant today as they were when the novel was first published. It''s a story that continues to resonate, challenging readers to think critically about the power and limits of human knowledge.
