the day he was created. Although society and his creator rejected him, he made one more attempt to make friends. When the cottagers also rejected him because of his physical features, he knew that he would never be liked by the human race and vowed to bring harm to any man that tried to harm him.The movie also showed the monsters tender side to be just like the novel. This was a total surprise to me, because the movie made every attempt to make the creature appear to be a very cruel and non-caring monster. The creature attempted to help the cottagers by gathering their food for them and providing wood so they would survive the cold season. The creature also requested a companion of the opposite sex, so he too could feel love from another instead of total rejection. At the very end of the novel and movie the creature was caught grieving over the death of his creator. Even though we are made to think that the creature was cold and destructive, in the end his human emotions prevailed.The Frankenstein movie focused on outward action scenes rather than emotional themes to make it more popular and entertaining. It also portrayed Victor as a mad scientist engrossed in his desire to create human life. I was very impressed that the movie did keep some of the good qualities that came from the novel. I enjoyed the novel more, because it gave me the opportunity to put my imagination to work instead of having to accept someone elses interpretation of Mary Shelleys literary novel....
