.Q-1) What are some major differences between movie and the novel.
The novel and the film: differences of plot
Difference in the time of exposition
Between the book and the film there is also a difference in the time of exposition because to read a book a man needs more time than to watch a film. This characteristic is underlined in the film: we can understand it because Branagh leaves out some parts of the story and in particular minor characters and roles. This is because in about two hours the film director must hold on the attention and the expectations of the spectators with special effects, violence and horror. In the book, on the contrary, the writer can dwell upon precise descriptions of the characters and places, commenting on events and giving opinions.
Differences between the plot of the film and the scenes of the film
1. In the book, Victor meets the monster after the homicide of his brother by the creature.
It wants a woman like itself and the doctor starts to create another monster; but when he arrives at half of his work, he has a remorse and destroys the half-made new creature.
In the film, on the contrary, Victor creates a woman for the monster but she commits suicide.
2. In the plot of Mary Shelley’s novel, the monster wants hid revenge on all the society because of his condition and because people consider him different and, for this reason, a monster, an ugly and dangerous person for the others, while in the film the monster wants his revenge only on Victor, his creator and Frankenstein’s family.
3) In the book, Victor meets his friend Clerval in Geneva because their parents are also good friends. Clerval doesn’t study at the University of Ingolstandt while in the film Frankenstein meets this other student at the university during a lesson of natural science.
4) Frankenstein’s father dies in the book of a heart attack when he finds Elizabeth killed by the monster while in the film it is the monster itself that murders Victor’s father.
5) When Victor Frankenstein meets Captain Roberts Walton, near the North Pole in the book the doctor is old, ill, weak and dying while in the film Victor is quite young, rather strong and active when he walks to the ship of the sailors.
6) In the film after the creation of the monster, Victor is ill, tired and filled with horror. Clerval, his friend, takes care of him and Elizabeth is there too. In the book on the contrary, the girl remains in Geneva with Victor’s family.
Q-2) Did this movie help you in understanding the plot of the novel?
yes, The novel makes us confused and movie makes its solution. So it is very helpful to understanding the plot of the novel.
Q-3) Who do you think is real monster?
I think real moster is victor frankestein. Because he makrs the dead one alive. And made society in danger. The main cause of the death of elizabeth and his brother is also made us to feel that real monster is victor frankenstein. The fall of geneva is good example of hamlet.
Q-4)From Where Mary Shelley get the idea for the novel Frankenstein ?
Many literary critics have long thought that Mary shelley fabricated her account of how she came up with the idea for her 1818 novel "Frankenstein." But a research by a team of astronomers suggests that she was telling the truth.In the preface to the 1831 edition of the novel, Shelley wrote that the idea first came to her in the summer of 1816, where she stayed in a manor on Lake geneva with her future husband Percy bysshe Shelley and the writers Lord Byron and John polidori. Byron suggested that each of them write a ghost story. Days passed, but Shelley produced nothing but "that blank incapability of invention which is the greatest misery of authorship."
Q-5) Do you think the search for the knowledge is dangerous and destructive?
The relentless search for knowledge is portrayed to be dangerous and destructive in Shelly’s Frankenstein. Dangerous for both those who pursue knowledge Victor and Walton around those who pursue knowledge I.e. Walton’s crew and Frankenstein’s friends and relatives. The monster’s curiosity to learn more about himself and the world especially learning language leads him to disappointment and then tragedy.
Frankenstein to identify the consequences of his action is what cause him pain. It is this character flaw that makes Frankenstein a Modern Prometheus, warning Shelley’s readers of the dangers and destructive force of knowledge.
Example of Doctor Faustus also reminds that knowledge is dangerous and destructive.
Q-6) What are some myths used by Mary Shelley in the Frankenstein?
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein in three types myths are used .
Paradise lost
Narcissism
Myth of prometheus
