movie and the book

The moment at which the creature comes to life differs between the film and novel version. In Shelley’s novel, Dr. Frankenstein alone is witness to the reanimation, and he is so overcome with revulsion that he flees his lab without confronting his creation. Igor, Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant, does not appear in the novel, although the “It’s alive” scene in the movie remains the most well-known scene from the 1931 film nonetheless. The movie shows Dr. Frankenstein speaking with and accepting of his creation. The creature panics when the doctor’s assistant enters the room with a lit torch, and the two men mistake the creature’s fear for aggression. They lock it in a dungeon, taunting and torturing it until the creature goes mad and becomes murderous

Frankenstein admired nature and tried to imitate it by creating life. During a trip Frankenstein took to the mountains with a friend, he experienced nature as a soothing balm in the face of his own deep anxiety. Likewise, Frankenstein’s creature was fascinated by spring and the beauty of nature’s creations, despite his own horrid existence that he felt was not welcoming or beautiful. Both Frankenstein and his creation desired to learn more about their surroundings but came to believe knowledge was dangerous and full of negative consequences. Since both Frankenstein and the creature felt wronged by the other, even though they were of like mind on many things, they both felt justified when forming their individual plans for revenge against the other.

Elizabeth was probable  the most well rounded person in the whole story. she was always telling victor how that she wanted him to stop what he was doing and that she did not want him leaving to go and do this experiment. the only thing that was weird is that she was his step sister. To them back then that was not weird but today that would be weird even if they are only step brother and sister.

 

One part of her was that she was wanting to get married to victor many times but he was going to study science. They did not want to marry each other and then him leave so they did not get married and then when he came back they were discussing what he was doing and she was about to leave him but he begged her not to. and then they got married, while they was on there honey moon the monster told victor that he wanted a wife or he would kill more people. Victor told him no and there for the monster found Elizabeth in there room and killed her and told victor that he keeps his promises. This is sad because Elizabeth did not know what victor had done and so she died for no reason.

 

Victor on the other hand knew what would happen when he told the monster no and he still left his wife in a room alone with the window open. So if you think about it victor killed his wife because he knew that the monster told him that he would kill people and if victor would not make him a wife then the monster feels why should victor have a wife. After Elizabeth is dead victor takes her all the way back home and try to fix her that way he made the monster which on a personal opinion that was stupid because she was all covered in stitches and she was not the same person. That is when the monster showed up and tried to take her away from victor but the crazy  part is that she grabbed a lamb and busted it on top of her head and she caught on fire and killed her self.

 

in conclusion the reason i wrote about Elizabeth is because out of all the people i feel bad for her because all she wanted was a husband and a normal life and what she got was far from it and it was not even her fault. I mean she had her heart ripped out of her chest and she did nothing wrong. that is why i felt empathy for her and i feel that she was the one with the best moral compass.
