	The Frankenstein Monster
		The monster derives from the novel by Mary Shelley and is the result of man's tinkering with nature and his untamed desire to create and apply his knowledge.
		The name of the scientist is sometimes wrongly used as that of the monster itself, and hence for any monstrous creation.
		Frankenstein's popularity is partly because it is the first modern myth that used science to release the monster.

	Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.
		Note that according to the novel, Victor has a clear alibi for at least one of the murders committed by the Monster – it is proved that he was on a different island at the time of the killing.
		Depictions of The Monster have varied widely, from mindless killing machines (as in many of the Hammer films) to the depiction of The Monster as a kind of tragic hero (closest to the Shelley version in behavior) in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Van Helsing.

	Miall -- Frankenstein Bibliography
		In the novel this is represented by Frankenstein's pursuit of the sublime in Nature, in contrast to Clerval's and his own earlier preference for the picturesque prior to the death of his mother.
		Like the monster, woman in a patriarchal society is defined as an absence, an enigma, mystery, or crime, or she is allowed to be a presence only so that she can be defined as a lack, a mutilated body that must be repressed to enable men to join the symbolic order and maintain their mastery.
		The death of the mother in the novel, and the absence of mothers in general, is postulated as Shelley's repression of the tragic potential of motherhood.

	Dutoit, "Re-specting the Face as the Moral (of) Fiction" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		His horror at the vision of the monster's face does not diminish as their confrontation intensifies: "With a sensation of horror not to be described, I saw at the open window a figure the most hideous and abhorred" (194).
		Since the face of the monster cannot be looked at, since he never becomes a "master of their language[,] which knowledge might enable me to make them overlook the deformity of my figure" (109), there can be no vision of the monster's inside.
		The relation between Jura (hence the monster, associated with the mountain) and the law is reinforced by the fact that the same image of darkness is used to describe both the mountain and the profes- {863} sion of judge.

	Redfield, "_Frankenstein_'s Cinematic Dream", Frankenstein's Dream, Praxis Series, Romantic Circles
		Whale furnishes the monster with something like a visual equivalent to the eloquence he possesses in Shelley’s novel: laced with shadows, emerging out of dark corners of the expressionist set, all knobs and scars and clomping boots, the monster is nonetheless by far the most human figure in this frequently shamelessly B-grade film.
		In the case of the Frankenstein monster, one could even add that his theatrical scars and prostheses and his awkward mechanical movements offer a displaced figure for the utter constructedness of cinematic vision—as though the record of angled shots, cutting, editing, etc. could be inscribed on a visible body.
		At the end of the novel, Victor is animated by his own rhetoric and little else: worn out from a speech to Walton’s crew in which he repeats his old error ("You were hereafter to be hailed as the benefactors of your species"), he collapses, "sunk in languor, and almost deprived of life" (150).

	Notes for Frankenstein
		The tonal qualities of the novel are worth attending to because, in addition to the dominant tone of darkness or gloom, there are moments of light and beauty, joy and enchantment, and love and pleasure quite irrepressibly glowing into various passages of the book.
		Victor's characterization of the monster: "wretch," "filthy demon," "demon," "devil," "the animal," "depraved wretch." Victor assumes that the monster is the killer.
		Monster: "I am malicious because I am miserable." The monster can reason, recognizes passion as detrimental, and is affected by kindness: he would return benevolence.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Lives of the Monster Dogs
		Onemmight argue that the monster dogs are sufficiently humanized to lack the typical motivations of a dog, but even when they revert to type, their portrayal is somewhat unconvincing.
		One can perhaps argue more convincingly that the monster dogs are not to be taken literally, but simply as a symbol of individuals shunned or ignored by society for their visible or assumed differences.

	Michael Kun - Reviews
		You Poor Monster is ultimately a sad, sweet novel that lowers an extra boom near the conclusion.
		Kun wildly shifts the tone of his brainteaser of a novel from comic to pathetic to near tragic, and readers may have a hard time keeping up with him; but he also has some pointed things to say about outward appearances and the role of self-deception.
		Rarely is a first novel as graceful, polished and mature as this debut by a 27-year-old attorney...This novel deserves serious attention as the herald of a truly interesting new voice.

	Swingle, "Frankenstein's Monster and Its Romantic Relatives" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The notion that the monster is advancing Mary Shelley's doctrines for reader consumption leads to a distorted experience of the novel because it commonly produces the corollary that, since the monster speaks for the author, then whatever the monster says must be true.
		On the one hand, we have the fact that the monster is subject to outbursts of terrible rage, the fact that it does kill people, and the fact of its horrible {53} physical appearance, especially the "ghastly grin" (p.
		By structuring the novel as she does, with Walton's tale, in the form of a series of letters to his sister, framing the tales of Frankenstein and the monster, Mary Shelley draws the reader into the novel's world.

	Walter Dean Myers - Monster
		Myers says that when he talks to young people about Monster, their responses are interesting: “When I ask them, ‘So what’s the story with Steve?’ they come up with various answers about his legal guilt, but eventually some kid does say that whether Steve’s legally guilty or innocent doesn’t make any difference; he is guilty.
		The issue of the novel’s form: Myers uses the two types of narration — Steve’s journals and his film script — as a means of showing how people create distance between their sense of themselves and their actions.
		Interestingly, she doesn’t seem to believe him, either, since she never states that he is innocent during her summation, only that he should be found “not guilty,” and she shrinks back from his attempt to hug her after his acquittal.

		Instead, she emphasizes the Monster as philosophical, a child abandoned and shunned, and in terms of desiring passion, as more human than his creator.
		The novel includes such characters as Frankenstein's mother who died when he was young, traumatizing him to the notion of death; William, his youngest brother and the Monster's first victim; and Justine, a cousin and adopted sister accused of slaughtering William.
		The myth of Frankenstein and his monster has long been with us, spurred by the novel of that name in the early 19th century, but the myth varies tremendously from the original novel in many aspects.

		Stoker's novel was based on a 15th century Romanian prince named Vlad Tepes who was very cruel and vicious to his enemies.

	It's Alive: Frankenstein's Monster and Modern Science
		In Shelley’s novel the being is left nameless, known simply as the "monster" or the "creature." The monster called "Frankenstein" in the 1931 film also lacks the intelligence, moral character, and emotional complexity of the ultimately human monster dreamed up by Mary Shelley.
		Walton learns that Frankenstein is now searching for the monster, intent on destroying it in retribution, but the scientist demonstrates no sense of responsibility for what he has set in motion.
		Immediately afterward, the monster himself boards the ship and tells the captain that he regrets his actions--but his apology is too late for Victor Frankenstein to witness.

		The author's prose is clear and crisp, with only a few lapses into Lovecraftian hyperbole: his description of the novel's almost mythical setting is rich and detailed without being overwritten and his characterization of the woman, Beck, and the very unusual creatures she encounters is compelling.
		Peretti successfully incorporates several contemporary detective drama/suspense thriller tropes; one of his main characters, for example, is a crime scene investigator, and welcome doses of forensic evidence and DNA analysis are thrown into the mix.
		As in Peretti's previous novels, those who hold conservative views are portrayed as heroic and those who disagree as evil.

		The monster vents his aggression on William (killing him) and Justine (framing her for William’s death), and the people close to his creator — his ‘father’.
		However, loneliness overcomes the monster, and in the ensuing period asks his father to create him a bride.
		A central theme to the novel, ostracism in human nature, is developed through the constant bigotry the monster is exposed to with everyone he meets.
