Custom image of Frankenstein with text behind him
"It's alive," the immortal words of Victor Frankenstein, as his creation rises off the slab, have been etched into our pop culture for nearly a century, thanks to James Whale's 1931 adaptation of Peggy Webling's 1927 play, which was in turn adapted from Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus.
What Does 'Frankenstein' Miss From Mary Shelley's Novel? Shelley's Frankenstein is a much more complicated text than what Whale's film version might have you think. The primary difference is the Monster, who is usually referred to as the Creature in the novel. The Creature is brought to life the same way but quickly differs from his film counterpart as he displays high intelligence, reasoning, and an impressive ability to communicate.
