If Frankenstein allowed his experiments to be exposed to the public, would any hospitals offer them as surgeries? How much would they cost? Would some sort of healthcare provider cover it? Asking mainly based on the book.

i'm a little unclear on how much time victor spends removed from his family (& clerval). he describes two years spent at ingolstadt, but does that include the nine months he spends constructing the creature? or is it in addition too? i'm sure the answer is in the text but i'm unfortunantly just not finding it

While not fully accurate to the original novel episode 2 of Creature Commandoes has some entertaining scenes with Victor, the Monster (here named Eric) and the Bride.

Any thoughts from fellow Frankenfans?

Getting put back to my downstairs display, but some of my collection. Centerpiece is from Sideshow Collectables.

I just read Frankenstein for the first time (at 38) and I could tell as soon as the fiend recounted his story that it was ripe for discussion of "who the real monster is". but later on in the book I started to get the feeling that maybe Frankenstein is just a psychopathic murderer and he made up the monster as a cope for himself and a diversion for others. when he goes to make the female companion and then destroys it it's probably because his process never worked in the first place because it was all bullsh*t pseudoscience. and I kept thinking that cliche "no one's seen them in the same room at the same". Only at the very end does Walton see them together in the ship but I'm willing to hold that aside pending other proof of the monster's existence.

Hey, I need to choose a scene (about a page or two long) to adapt into a short one-page comic. I have a few options, and I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or any thoughts on them. I’m just having trouble choosing. It’s for an assignment. Would love some input!

Options:

1. Scene where the Creature recounts him saving the girl and being shot for it
2. Scene where the Creature kills William
3. Scene where Frankenstein destroys the female Creature and the Creature swears to be with him on his wedding night
4. Scene where Frankenstein discovers Elizabeth’s death

In my tales of terror class we read her original 1818 book and It made me wanna draw up my own rendition of Frankenstein. It’s a bit of a mix of hers and the current versions. My insta is @ ISALUMINALUNii

Spent a good… checks watch 3 weeks doodling dots for our boy here but isn’t he so cool?

Usually, when I think of Frankenstein, my first thought is horror. I just listened to a Podcast summary of the book, and it was actually kind of sad. Is there any movies that portray it like that? Or do most of them and I just haven't seen any of the movies.

so I’ve been making my notes and apparently when Victor says “Chance - or rather the evil influence, the angel of destruction, which asserted an omnipotent sway over me… led me first to M. Krempe.” there’s an allusion to ‘Paradise Lost” when Frankenstein talks about the Angel of Destruction. Has anyone’s english teachers referenced this or is this just something to ignore, I only ask this because it doesn’t have any reference in the appendix and have no clue if it’s what shelley intended or i’m reaching with this.

My students are reading a graphic novel version and we made our own creatures! These guys belong to period 1!

For my English class, I chose to make my essay about how humans have a constant struggle for recognition/acceptance that they go to large lengths for it, and if they are unsuccessful, it results in hostility, isolation, and despair. Does anyone know any good parts of evidence from the book to support this? Like possibly something not so obvious (if not, that's still fine).

For me, I prefer the route Hammer went, by keeping Victor Frankenstein as the protagonist as he creates different monsters for each sequel. It offers new storylines and allows us to look forward to Frankenstein's experiments progressing.

Meanwhile, I only like the original Frankenstein (1931) and Bride. The other sequels got repetitive with their plots.
