https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797–1851)
that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein,
a young scientist who creates
a hideous, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
Shelley started writing the story when she was 18,
and the first edition of the novel
was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20
Her name first appeared on the second edition, published in 1823.

Shelley travelled through Europe in 1814,
journeying along the river Rhine in Germany
with a stop in Gernsheim,
which is 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle,
where, two centuries before, an alchemist was engaged in experiments...

Frankenstein is infused with elements of
the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement.
At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction.

Since the novel's publication,
the name "Frankenstein" has often been used to refer to the monster itself.
This usage is considered erroneous
In the novel, the monster is identified by words such as
"creature", "monster", "daemon", "wretch", "abortion", "fiend" and "it".
