Once, a doctor named dr. Victor Frankenstein, was amazed to witness an experiment from his professor. He is also obsessed with trying to create a perfect human figure. He used his professor's brain organ (which had just died), collected pieces of body from a number of new bodies, sewed the pieces in one body, and created a creature that he believed would be the perfect man of his experimental engineering.After weeks of weeks of experiments, Victor was surprised when his experimental creature, which was generated by electric energy from lightning and electric eels, turned out to be an ugly creature, he did not think that he had just created a "demon" .This monster became known as "FRANKENSTEIN", even though it was a misnomer, the monster was anonymously, never named by its creator, and became a strange being who was searching for his true identity, not actually why he existed and for what he was created. In its quest the monster becomes a terrifying terror for some people, especially for its own creator: Dr. Victor Frankenstein!So famous is the story, but few know that Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein - The Modern Prometheus" story is based on a spooky personal experience combined with literary studies, wild imagination, and the dream of a 19-year-old.The great story begins with the real experience of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Mary Shelley) in a summer of 1816 in a castle on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The castle is the residence of a famous poet Lord Byron. At that time Mary (still 19 years) and her lover English poet Percy Shelley visited there at the invitation of Lord Byron.The night was bad weather with heavy rain, lightning and thunderstorms raged outside the old stone wall of the building. The three artists were gathered near the fireplace. They chatted casually in the warmth and flames.Bad weather makes them saturated, because they can not move outside. So one night, Byron challenged his guests to write a gripping story, each one writing. All three agree and start their writing activities there to fill the time.One night with a storm that was still roaring out there, Mary who had fallen asleep suddenly woke up due to nightmares. He was shocked when he heard the lightning booming outside there. Sweat flooded on his body. The nightmare seemed real to him, so vivid and frightening.
After she had mastered herself, Mary reached for paper and pen. Toward dawn that day he began to write his fingers under the dim light shining dimly. He writes the details of his dream in a story.Here's some of the quotes: "As I lay my head on the pillow, I could not sleep much less think ... I saw a pair of eyes, with a painful stare. I saw a pale student kneeling beside something. I saw a shadow of a man stretching nearby, and the big engine in the room showed signs of life, the moving panels indicating a reaction from the figure beside the student. It is frightening, a tremendous force as a result of a man's endeavor to form a wonderful thing in the world! ".And Mary won the bet between the three. The article from his nightmare was later written in the form of a novel published two years later. And legendary as the Frankenstein story to date.Maria Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein in 1818 was not the first to bring up a human-made monster. Similar stories have also appeared long ago. Good in legend, story of mouth, even in historical records.Mary Shelly in her novel describes an experiment to animate dead figures from pieces united with technology in the fields of biology, medicine, chemistry, and physics. Apparently the theory he proposed is not without basis. Because the experiment is almost similar to that it has been done.Some historical figures have been associated with fiction and monsters raised from the dead, due to experiments that they believed to have done.The most recent historical record before the novel was made was the experiment of Luigi Galvani, an Italian physician in the 1790s. Galvani states that electric-based energy can stimulate nerve impulses to perform movement. In a demonstration, Galvani used the back legs of the frog. The nerves of the foot pieces are electrified, the frog's legs move according to their joint structure.His findings are published in his scientific book De Viribus Electricitatis in Motu Musculari (1792). From here comes the speculation of the theory that living beings who have died can still be revived by using electrical energy.Then Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535), an astrologist, chemist, secretive science writer, and sorcery researcher. According to the issue, he once tried to raise the dead through rituals and perform a series of occult experiments (spirit power). It is mentioned that before his death, he released the legendary black dog Faustus which is a symbology of fellowship with the devil. And he also has the ability to summon demons who use certain body media.There are also notes and stories about Paracelsus (1493-1541), a scientist capable of making inanimate objects into power and life. But these are all rumors that developed before the middle ages, because of the limitations of human knowledge about science.What is surprising is the legend of Prague in 1590, about a lowly scientist who experimented with raising humans from river clay. After forming the whole human body of clay, he performed a kind of rite using a kind of machine and awakened it into a living human being.Phase 2017, a group of archaeologists from University College London (UCL) found a skeleton that allegedly belonged to Frankenstein. The allegations are caused because the limbs on the skeleton come from different body parts originally.
