The Core Connection
The King of Torts
John Grisham
Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
A Bridge of Ideas
Despite their vastly different settings, both Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein* and John Grisham's *The King of Torts* reveal a shared fascination with the dangerous, often unintended consequences of unchecked ambition and the creation of entities beyond human ethical control. You awarded *Frankenstein* a higher rating, perhaps sensing the profound, almost existential dread inherent in the novel's exploration of hubris, a sentiment echoed in *The King of Torts*' portrayal of legal manipulation run amok.
