En esta obra, arquetípica por lo fácil que resulta identificarse con algunos de sus personajes, Mary Shelley narra la historia de un hombre que desafía a la Naturaleza intentando evitar la muerte. Su trasgresión le cuesta cara, pues la muerte acecha constantemente a su familia e, incluso, a él mismo. El monstruo que el doctor Frankenstein crea no es malo ni violento, sino que la falta de amor (tesis del romanticismo como corriente literaria) ocasiona su comportamiento destructivo.

"Une sinistre nuit de novembre, je pus enfin contempler le résultat de mes longs travaux. Avec une anxiété qui me mettait à l'agonie, je disposai à portée de ma main les instruments qui allaient me permettre de transmettre une étincelle de vie à la forme inerte qui gisait à mes pieds. Il était déjà une heure du matin. La pluie tambourinait lugubrement sur les carreaux, et la bougie achevait de se consumer. Tout à coup, à la lueur de la flamme vacillante, je vis la créature entrouvrir des yeux d'un jaune terne. Elle respira profondément, et ses membres furent agités d'un mouvement convulsif."
