Frankenstein-Thinking Activity

Here is my blog on thinking activity given by Heena mam regarding the comparison between Frankenstein Movie and Novel. So warmly welcome in my Blog….

How is the beginning and the end of the movie?

Very beginning and end of the movie we see there sea water which convert into ice because of ship's accident and captain of the ship is Robert Walton who is in search of North pole. While at the end suddenly the whole ice started melting and ice plate disappear with one stroke. And Monster Frankenstein choose to died with his father because he is not accepted anywhere.

So, at the beginning and end of the movie is with Ice which used as symbolic that something has been done, something horrible is done and the prize for it is only death. Ice is used in a very symbolic manner.

Do you feel the effect of Horror in the movie?

Yes, Ofcourse Frankenstein is Modern movie which make scientific experiment to create something new. Frankenstein is a Gothic novel, so of course it creates some horror and terrible. When Victor Frankenstein is creating new human beings for this Creation process of making is very ugly and horrible sometimes we feel to close our eyes.so this is how the effect of horror is elaborated.

What do think about the character of Monster?

When I personally look on the character of Monster than he is not really Monster. There were some situations and incidents which forced him to behave harshly and cruelly with Victor. His outer appearance is the only thing on which basis he is considered as Monster. But as usual the heart of person is always neglected.

 What do you think about conversations between Victor and Monster?

Victor who is the creator and father of Monster. Monster can be considered as son of Victor Frankenstein. When both meet after long time Monster has so many questions to ask why you created me? Who am I? Why you left after giving feelings and Emotions? etc...So During the conversation we find that Monster is very much good in questioning that Victor himself is unable to give answers. Monster is curious to know the answers and also look wise enough to understand that why people are not accepting. He said that I have two kinds of Emotions...One is Too much Love and another is too much Anger if one is not going to be fulfilled than another one holds the capacity to destroy the world. So this is how logically and philosophical way Moster make argue with Victor.

Do You think Director used Appropriate symbol in the Movie?

Symbolism is like use of silent language but still it says lot many things. There is good use of Cross in different scenes showing that when men try to go beyond the law of nature there is something

disastrous things should happen. Another symbol is that Monster burn the home in Forest shows that in his heart is also burning fire fire of revenge and now he is going to take revenge with Victor.
