Aliens and robots are common characters in science fiction (科幻小说) . Let's take a look at one of the very first stories about science fiction.
On Jan. 1,1818,a novel by English writer Mary Shelley was published. In the story,a crazy scientist created a monster from dead body parts. The monster was 2. 4 meters tall with yellow skin,watery eyes and a black mouth. The story was called (《弗兰肯斯坦》) and is believed to be perhaps the first work of science fiction.
Frankenstein was the name of the scientist. The.monster he created had feelings like humans. He tried to find love from others,but his scary looks made people hate him. Driven mad by this cruelty (残忍) ,he grew to hate Frankenstein for creating him. He killed the scientist's friends; Frankenstein then died. One of the themes of the story is that science can either save or kill us.
The story has had a great influence upon literature and pop culture ever since,especially horror (恐怖) stories and films. The most classic adaptation (gfcI?) is the 1931 film Frankenstein.There are also plays,television shows,and comics based on the story. And even video games and toys use the character of the monster.
