Once he succeeds and his creature takes its first breath, he realises he has made a monster and abandons it.
The creature, shunned by the world and filled with rage, decides to follow its master.
One of the most famous horror novels of all time and considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, Shelley's masterpiece has entertained and horrified its readers for 200 years.
