BRAIN: Even though his brain was once dead, the monster is intelligent. He is able to speak, read, and show complex emotions. SKIN: The creature's yellow skin is so this that his muscles and blood vessels are nearly visible. BODY: His body is fashioned out of cold parts from bodies snatched out of graves. The monster stands 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and possesses incredible strength. EYES: His glowing, yellowed eyes deliver a fixed stare that chills anyone who dares look directly at him.
Pieced together from body parts stolen from graves, Frankenstein's monster is a terrible reminder that Man should not attempt to play God. Victor Frankenstein believes that electricity can be used as a power source to bring the dead back to life. He harnesses powers meant only for God, and the result is that he creates a monster which destroys him. Frankenstein conducts a series of experiments on stolen corpses. When a bolt of lightning brings his monster to life in the lab, Frankenstein is immediately sorry. He intended his creation to be beautiful, but it is revolting. Horrified, Frankenstein runs away from his awful creation.
Frankenstein awakens to see his ghastly monster standing at his bedside. Once again, he flees his creation. When Frankenstein's brother is murdered, the monster admits killing him as a way to strike back at his creator for rejecting him. The lonely monster begs Frankenstein to create a mate for him. Frankenstein begins work on a female creature, but his conscience forces him to destroy her and dump her lifeless body in a lake. As revenge, the furious monster murders Frankenstein's bride on their wedding night.
DID YOU KNOW?
Frankenstein spends the rest of his life pursuing the monster to take revenge for the death of his bride. He tracks the creature to the icy Arctic and chases him on a dogsled, but the ice between them separates in a huge crack. When Frankenstein dies, the monster weeps over the body of his creator. The creature heads off across the ice to die alone.
Mary Shelley wrote the novel Frankenstein when she was 19 years old.
The name "Frankenstein" is often incorrectly used to refer to Victor Frankenstein's creation. Throughout the book, his creation is referred to as "the creature" or "the monster." Frankenstein is the name of the scientist who created the monster.
