Set on a remote island, the narrative follows Edward Prendick, who encounters the eccentric Doctor Moreau and his grotesque creations, hybrids of animals and humans born from unethical experiments. This story serves as a critique of Darwin's evolution theory and foreshadows contemporary ethical dilemmas surrounding genetic engineering, highlighting the perils of unrestrained scientific exploration. It merges adventure with profound themes, making it a thought-provoking cautionary tale about the consequences of playing God.
