Frankenstein made
a monster out of dead and rotting body parts, based both on the book and the
movie. Both of these materials show how immoral Frankenstein is. How could a
person build his own creation out of rotting body parts? The bodies deserve to
have a decent place where they should lie and these bodies have the right not
to be disturbed. Frankenstein didn’t respect the owners of these bodies which
only showed how immoral he really is. Also, these two materials both showed
what science was like before. Moreover, it showed how people think how
extensive science can be that through lightning, stitches and complete body
parts can create and give life to a new human-like creature. People, before or
maybe until now, think that as science flourishes so does its power to create
new things, even living ones. This is why, it is shown that Frankenstein was
able to create a human-like creature. To think about it critically, how could a
creature/monster with no feelings be able to develop emotions and knew that it
needs a partner in life, a companion to be with and that is of the opposite sex
(or maybe in the image of a girl)? And with that also, how can he feel the
anger with his creator and decided to kill the brother of Frankenstein. Well,
this only shows that really, experiments are not always successful or perfect.
Frankenstein created a human-like creature and in turn became the villain or the
enemy of humans.
In the book, the monster was able
to learn and speak in French by listening to a family he found in a remote
cottage unlike in the movie, he only learned a few words. I think the reason
why in the movie he was made dumb is because, it wanted to show how people will
misunderstand him and will fear him because of the grumbling sounds the he can
only make. The movie wanted to emphasize how the monster was greatly
misunderstood not only because of his appearance but also because he cannot
speak of words. Also, the movie wanted to show how hard it was for the monster
to interact with humans making him in a sense (, and I don’t know how but he
was able to develop deep emotions) angry at his own creator. Because of these,
I think, he being a monster was greatly emphasized in the movie and also it was
clear that judgment really affects the society’s perception as a whole. I also
think that stereotypes and prejudice are clearly shown in the movie.
