Facts You Need To Know About Frankenstein (And His Monster)You might be familiar with the story of Frankenstein, probably from one of those many, many, many adaptations or pop culture references. It’s one of the most recognizable pieces of fiction in the world: mad scientist, skulking assistant, lightning strike, big green monster…and yet, there’s quite a bit more to the original tale than most people know.

As yet another adaptation takes over the big screen this weekend with Victor Frankenstein, promising to “reinvent” the old story for the modern age (as if we haven’t heard that one before), here are 1. Facts You Need to Know About Frankenstein (And His Monster)Universal’s Iconic Frankenstein. By far the most popular image of Frankenstein (or more specifically, his monster) is the one that jumps into your head as soon as you hear the name: big guy, flat head, possibly purple eyelids and green skin with tattered clothing. This particular version comes from the 1. Universal movie Frankenstein, and has made quite the impression on pop culture. Universal is also responsible for other horror movie staples, with their early repertoire including Dracula (1. The Mummy (1. 93.

It doesn’t stop there either, as Universal is soon set to bring you yet another Frankenstein movie sometime in the future (this week’s Victor Frankenstein comes from Fox), this time to be part of a monster movie shared universe in the vein of the Marvel movies, and possibly titled The Bride of Frankenstein.

Presumably, this will culminate in a gigantic crossover event that features Van Helsing, Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster and The Creature from the Black Lagoon teaming up to fight their way through a horde of CGI Gremlins, after which we’ll all have to stick around for both a mid- credits and post credits scene that teases whatever’s coming next. So at least we have that to look forward to in the coming years. The Name of the Monster. This one’s a murky topic, because there have been so many adaptations over the years making things complicated. Still, as purists are only too happy to point out, nowhere in Mary Shelley’s original novel is the monster referred to as “Frankenstein.” That would be the name of the creator, who is far too busy being horrified over the aberration he’s unleashed upon the Earth to give his creation a name.

The monster is called various names, including “monster” (obviously), “demon” and the good old “it,” but not “Frankenstein.” If anything, it should be called “Frankenstein, Jr.,” though the namelessness of the creature is an important part of his feeling shunned and unwanted. However, you’d be forgiven for slipping up on this one, as several versions of the tale (such as the stage version, and probably many others) have shifted the name “Frankenstein” to the monster.

There Was No Igor. You know Igor. Everyone knows Igor. He’s the hunchback assistant, subservient and probably google- eyed, who helps Victor Frankenstein in his mad schemes and mysteriously disappears from the narrative afterwards.

The Sweet Tooth trope as used in popular culture. A character who really, really likes their sweets. Everything they eat could be classed as a dessert and if.

He even has his own animated movie now. What you might now know is that there was no Igor- at least not for a good while after the novel was released. The actual origin story of the character is a fragmented mish- mash, much like a certain monster we could mention.

The original Victor Frankenstein worked alone, because good helpers are hard to find when the job description includes the words “help needed to defile the laws of nature.” Interestingly enough, there WAS a hunchback assistant in the 1. Frankenstein who was physically the influence for the character, but under a different name.

Igor would be steadily pieced together over the years, all the way to the hunchbacked assistant and easy costume idea we all know and are appropriately creeped out by. The Original Monster. Quick, think of a generic horror movie monster. Chances are you thought of one of the stock standard version created by the aforementioned Universal movies: Dracula, a mummy, a werewolf or a big green guy with bolts sticking out of his neck and probably a whole lot of stitches.

We’re not given too much description of the monster from the novel, though from what we know (as well as a few illustrations), he looked nothing like any of that, aside from being tall. Shelley describes the creature as having flowing hair, yellow, almost- translucent skin, glowing eyes and black lips. It’s a far cry from the well- known version in the 1.

Notably, the method of creating the creature is left to the reader’s imagination in the novel, while the movie most prominently shows him being animated by lightning (or at least electricity – science, everybody!). The popular version also walks with a stiff gait and limited vocabulary, very much like a zombie. The original had none of this either, with the creature being graceful, despite his size, and he became very articulate after listening to only a few conversations. Given that he’s a grotesque creation sewn together from various body parts, the movie version probably makes more sense. The Shack Online Putlocker.

The Character of Frankenstein’s Monster. Plenty of adaptations have seen Frankenstein’s monster as a killer, shambling around with the mind of a criminal due to an unfortunate brain swap, and murdering people… just because. While the monster from the novel did his fair share of killing, they were all calculated and done for a reason, mostly to get back at his creator for unleashing him upon a world of rejection. In fact, while the title suggests otherwise, the monster could be considered both protagonist and antagonist, rather than a villain as he’s often portrayed. The character himself is extremely sympathetic, lost and alone as one would be after being brought into a hostile world where everyone is actively trying to kill you. The original version displays a number of positive traits, such as empathy and a full breadth of emotions alongside his eloquence, which is once again incredibly different to Universal’s version, who was depicted as childlike and unintelligent, though still sympathetic. Those Never- ending Adaptations.

As you know so very well, the story of Frankenstein has wormed its way into pop culture in a way that few other stories have, sitting right up there with Dracula at the top of the list of well- known horror monsters. Some of the details might have shifted, but that’s to be expected from a novel that’s now almost 2.

However, it still has some catching up to do, as Frankenstein’s monster has appeared in almost fifty of his own movies and has inspired many, many more. That’s also not counting all the parodies, one- off appearances, stage plays and TV shows, which number in the hundreds when added up. It helps that the original novel is now in the public domain, meaning that anyone can adapt the story, in any way they please.

The monster has made his presence known in every medium, from Veggietales (Frankencelery- actually a really nice guy) to full- blown Japanese kaiju movies. And yes, there is a movie where a giant Frankenstein’s monster fights a massive Godzilla- esque dinosaur. It’s probably not as poignant as the original, but everyone has their own interpretation. The Origin of the Novel.

It might be nearly 2. Frankenstein was originally a novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, first published in 1. However, the book didn’t just come about on a whim; Shelley was travelling through Lake Geneva in Switzerland, and her travelling party (which included her future husband, writer Percy Shelley) found themselves trapped inside by the intense volcanic winter that was caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora the year before. This “Year Without a Summer” already sounds like the basis for a novel in itself, but while everyone was stuck indoors, the gauntlet was laid as to who could write the best horror story.
