| | Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Frankenstein and his utter disregard for the human and animal remains gathered in his pursuit of power can be taken as symbolic of the rampant forces of laissez-faire capitalism extant at the time and their basic disregard for human dignity. | | | Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. | | | Representing a minority opinion, Arthur Belefant in his 116-page book, Frankenstein, the Man and the Monster (1999, ISBN 0962955582) contends that Mary Shelley's intent was for the reader to understand that the Creature never existed, and Victor Frankenstein committed the three murders. |

| | Review of Frankenstein |
| | Frankenstein, one of the key texts in modern literature, was written by Mary Shelley in 1818 when she was only 21. | | | Frankenstein is quite glib, and doesn't learn from his own philosophizing, another of the book's ironies; at one point, he says: "A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind, and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquillity. | | | Frankenstein finds out that his suspicions about William's fate were correct, and the monster threatens further violence on Frankenstein's family if a certain request of his is not fulfilled. |

| | Frankenstein by Mary Wollestonecraft Shelley: A searchable online version at The Literature Network |
| | Frankenstein dies and the creature disappears in the wilderness mourning the loss of the man who gave him life. | | | Frankenstein is a student of natural philosophy in Geneva. | | | Perhaps that is justified in the fact that he was designed to be better than humans, however, Dr. Frankenstein never thought about the possibility of his creature having a soul in his mad attempt at benefitting science and though he denies it, likely fortune as well. |

| | Full text and plot summary of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley |
| | Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus is the most famous novel by Mary Shelley, wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. | | | The novel’s settings of Swiss mountains and Arctic desolation are perfect for Mary Shelley’s tale that was originally conceived abroad in the wet summer of 1816 with Byron and her husband in a night telling ghost stories. | | | However, the bulk of the story is told by Victor Frankenstein who narrates his own creation of a man from bones he has stolen and with the power of electricity. |

Letter 4, pg. | | | August 19th, 17--: Frankenstein decides to tell Walton his story in the hopes that he can learn some lesson from the mistakes that have led to Frankenstein's ruin. |

| | Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" (1818) -- A Summary of Modern Criticism |
| | Like Victor Frankenstein, his author and superficially better self, the monster enacts in turn the roles of Adam and Satan, and even eventually hints at a sort of digression into the role of God. | | | Significantly, the "loners" of the tale, Walton and Frankenstein, seek limited male companionship, relegating the females in their lives to correspondents rather than companions. | | | Undoubtedly a part of Mary Shelley's recreation of Milton's epic in novel form is the Edenic quality of the valleys, rivers, and lakes in Frankenstein; moreover, the monster learns language from the De Laceys' reading of Paradise Lost, the syntax and diction of which become the models for his own speech throughout the novel. |

| | Review: Frankenstein (1931) |
| | Frankenstein is loosely based on the novel by Mary Shelley. | | | Gone are a number of key elements of the written work: the endless arctic chase, the concept of a speaking monster, the friendship with the blind man, and the creature's desire for companionship. | | | His elation is short lived, however - the creature's animalistic behavior quickly disillusions him, and, after it kills his hunchbacked assistant, he decides to destroy it. |

| | Frankenstein Superguide |
| | Yet, within its budget, Frankenstein remained fairly close to the original book with the notable exception that Shelly's monster despite his hideous form is superior to man in every respect including intellectually (and morally?) Shelly's monster is not a lumbering oaf to be pitied, rather an ubermensch to be feared. | | | In REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN 2 years later, an enraged mob attacked him and beat his body to a bloody pulp, but a loyal assistant transferredhis still living and undamaged brain to the fleshly frame of a man created by Cushing for an experiment he had not yet completed. | | | The powerful image of the Frankenstein monster from Mary Shelly's memorable novel has been a source of movie inspiration almost from the beginning of the medium, and continues to be a large box-office attraction even in this day of epic spectacles. |

| | While Mary Shelley drew her inspiration from a dream, she drew her story's premises about the nature of life from the work of some of Europe's premier scientists and thinkers. | | | In her novel, Mary Shelley is silent on just how Victor Frankenstein breathes life into his creation, saying only that success crowned "days and nights of incredible labor and fatigue;" Frankenstein offers no monster-making recipes. | | | As this early book illustration suggests, nature's own "monsters"--sharp deviations from normal human development--fascinated anatomists of Mary Shelley's day and before. |

| | The book is divided into three sections: Shelley's Preface, four letters from Walton to his sister back in England, and the twenty-four chapters that make up Dr. Frankenstein's story. | | | This version follows the text faithfully and includes one chapter per page, except for Chapter 24, which is much longer than the others and whose format lends to its division into three sections. | | | One of the first and certainly most enduring Gothic novels of the English literary tradition, its premise allows the reader to hear the story not only from the perspective of the tragic Dr. Frankenstein, but also from that of his listener, Captain Walton -- who has entertained similar fascinations in the natural sciences. |
