After watching Frankenstein the movie, I found some comparisons and a lot of differences. Overall, the book and novel began and ended the same. Victor is found by Captain Walton’s crew, which leads to Victor’s demise in pursuit of the monster. In the beginning Victor creates a creature out of corpse and the creature escapes. In comparison, at first the monster is a kind and calm being, but once he is neglected continuously it comes to the point in where he realizes that he will never be loved or accepted by humans. People run from the sight of the hideous creature or try to kill him.

There may be some identical similarities in the book and the movie, but there are a significant amount of differences. Those differences include how Elizabeth is killed and brought back to life for Victor in the movie and in the novel the monster rips her heart out. Another difference in the book than the movie is Justine’s death. In the novel, Justine has a fair trial before being hung for the death of Victors brother, William. In the movie, as soon as she is accused of the murder of William she is hung with no trial. One other difference in the book and the movie is in the book, Victor uses the dead corpse of Justine to create a wife for the monster. Unlike in the movie, Victor uses Elizabeth’s dead body to bring back to life.

The purpose of the book and the movie are each completely different. The book’s purpose was to leave the readers enlightened, contemplating  their feelings and views, and to question societal norms in their life. The movie on the other hand gave the viewers a visual of something they’ve never witnessed. In conclusion, I believe that the book portrayed a better story for readers than what the movie depicts.
