Part Two: The Mad Scientist takes us into Victor Frankenstein's perspective. We learn about his background, dreams, ambitions, and the youthful enthusiasm for education and scientific progress. But how did these aspirations steer him toward animating a corpse? How did something so pure become haunted, hated, and filled with despair in Victor's heart?

Join us as we travel along the river in Part Two: The Mad Scientist on Riverside Readings - Where We Bring the Classics to Life!
