Frankenstein is a brilliantly written novel by Mary Shelley. It poses many questions that we as a society should answer before we still have time to reconsider the foreseeable outcomes of our actions.

Although the story aims to objectively acquaint the reader with two diametrically opposite positions of Frankenstein and of the monster he created, it unravels systematic injustice of judicial system, social prejudice against unfamiliar, limitations of human intellect, pointless bloodshed and many more.

The dilemma, whether Frankenstein would endanger the existence of human society by creating another wretch of opposite sex to satisfy monster’s needs, could be paraphrased and traced back to the initial question of responsibility for creating the first specimen of artificial intelligence. Although not necessary in physical or humanoid form, can we deny its wellbeing and for how long?

The questions that society will have to answer might seem unnecessary or even meaningless as they were to Shelley’s Frankenstein. Frankenstein’s monster was curious and kind when learning to understand physics, language and psychology, but quickly became vicious, cruel and revengeful when mankind denied it privileges of acquired knowledge and understanding, but aren’t we all?
