  • What are some major differences between movie and the novel Frankenstein ?(Mention any three)
              Many differences between movie and novel but three major differences are:
  ■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.
■In the film ,Victor had only one younger brother ,William.
             In the book ,Victor had another brother, Ernest.
■In the book the monster learned to love virtue and hate vice from the story of the De laceys and this part is secondary in the Film.
  • Did this movie help you in understanding the plot of the novel?
               Yes,This movie helps me in understanding the plot of  the novel very well. 
  • Who do you think is real monster?
              Victor is the true monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. He is the reckless scientist who unleashed a creature on society that was helpless to combat the horrors and rejection that society placed on him due to his differences. Victor’s goal to generate life causes a great deal of pain through his ambition, selfishness, and hostility, both to himself and others. As a result, these acts caused him to become alienated from his friends and family, and turned him into the true monster in Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is The Modern Prometheus, for he made the knowledge of creating life assessable, and by doing so, he is cursed to endure the ratifications of his creation.

  • From Where Mary Shelley get the idea for the novel Frankenstein ?
              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.
  • Do you think the search for the knowledge is dangerous and destructive?
               No , I think the search for the knowledge is not dangerous and destructive always.But how we used that knowledge it depends on us.We misuse that knowledge then the knowledge is dangerous and destructive. 
  • What are some myths used by Mary Shelley in the Frankenstein? 
               Three myths used by Mary Shelley in the Frankenstein. 
1.Myth from Paradise Lost
2.Narcissism 
3.Myah of Prometheus. 
  • Write about the narratology of the Frankenstein. 
                Mary Shelley used FRAME NARRATIVE narratology of the Frankenstein.It means Mary Shelley used story within story or box within box narrative technique in the Frankenstein.
