I can't help but feel empathy for Frankenstein's creature, and abhor humankind for its prejudice and malice that

Don’t get why everyone spends so much time talking about “the theme of science versus nature” and how this is “the world’s first science fiction novel” when clearly this is the world’s pre-eminent text on the subject of the dire consequences of procrastination.
