Frankenstein / 《弗兰肯斯坦》

Frankenstein / 《弗兰肯斯坦》 appears in 68.疯狂实验史:哎!这该死的求知欲… as a bridge between literary imagination and experimental science. The episode argues that the fantasy of body animation was not pure invention: public and private electrical experiments on frogs, animal parts, and bodies made galvanic reanimation imaginable in the cultural environment around [[MaryShelley|Mary Shelley / 玛丽·雪莱]].

The source uses the novel less as a plot object than as an example of how science history enters fiction. Scientific Public Spectacle and early electrical demonstrations turn the gothic premise into a memory of actual experimental culture, while Experimental Science Ethics keeps the question of bodily manipulation and curiosity’s limits visible.
