Frankenstein

Hello everyone...

This blog based on thinking activity on the topic frankenstein.which is assigned by Megha ma'am , in this blog I'm going to discuss about the topics like, difference between Movie and original novel , who is real monster and so on.

"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" is a film that should be on your watchlist.

Yes, there are several differences between Mary Shelley's original novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" and the 1994 film adaptation "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein." While the movie is generally faithful to the novel's themes and characters, there are notable departures and adaptations made for cinematic purposes. Here are some of the key differences:

1.In the novel, Elizabeth is Victor Frankenstein's cousin and fiancée, and her character is relatively less developed. In the film, she plays a more prominent role as Victor's love interest, and a romantic subplot is introduced to add emotional depth to the story.

2. While the novel provides a general description of the Creature's appearance, the film takes creative liberties with the design of the Creature. The film's portrayal of the Creature, played by Robert De Niro, involves elaborate makeup and prosthetics that create a more visually striking and grotesque appearance.

3. The film is set in a more historically accurate 18th-century Europe, while the novel is set in the late 18th century but has a more timeless quality that doesn't adhere strictly to historical accuracy.

4. The novel is primarily told through a series of letters and framed narratives, while the film follows a more traditional cinematic narrative structure. Some events and character backgrounds are condensed or altered for the sake of pacing.

5.The film introduces some additional characters and subplots, such as the character of Captain Walton (played by Aidan Quinn), who serves as a framing device for the narrative.

6. The film simplifies and streamlines some of the scientific aspects of Victor Frankenstein's experiments, making them more accessible to a general audience.

7. The film's ending differs from the novel's conclusion in terms of the fate of certain characters and the overall resolution of the story.

While "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" strives to capture the spirit and themes of the novel, it takes creative liberties to adapt the source material to a cinematic medium. These differences are common in film adaptations of literary works, as filmmakers often need to make choices that will work within the constraints of a movie's runtime and the expectations of a movie-going audience.

Second major question is who is real monster in this particular novel . The answer is probably the the creator victor Frankenstein that he thought about this unusual creation. We can also say that the situations or society somewhere plays the roles of monster. That the situation makes him monster.

Thank you so much for reading...

Have a great time .
