Event Details

Mary Shelley's horror classic, "Frankenstein," embodies the complexities of fear, especially the fear of scientific progress, and asks whether our attempt to control chaos is beneficial or will lead to further destruction. Aleisha Balestri examines how Shelley unpacks this tension and how the novel encompasses the fear and anxiety of the past, present, and future.
