Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus

by Mary Shelley

This playlist weaves together the eerie, tragic, and reflective themes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein with a mix of electronic, ambient, classical, and experimental sounds. The instrumental tracks evoke the gothic and scientific atmospheres, while the vocal songs explore the characters' emotional depths and the novel's ethical dilemmas. The diverse sub-genres and artists mirror the novel's complexity, from Victor Frankenstein's hubris to the creature's yearning for acceptance.
