Answer: True.

Explanation:

This sentence from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein conveys the idea that daring natural laws can lead to adverse outcomes.

For example, Victor Frankenstein gets so obsessed with human anatomy and physiology that he begins to seek the building of his monster, and by doing so he neglects his family and friends and all the joys they provided him. The main theme is that we are all ultimately responsible for our actions.
