While watching the film Frankenstein by Thomas Edison, I noticed some similarities and differences in the novel drawn up by Mary Shelley. In the novel, it starts off with Victor's letters to his sister, while he is starting out on his journey.

sympathy of both Victor and the reader. The creature often refers to Frankenstein as "you, my creator": this doubled form of address does not only serve to remind Victor of the responsibility he bears for giving the creature life; it is also a complimentary title that implores him for help. As he speaks, the creature's syntax becomes almost Biblical in tone: he frequently uses the verb "shall," which has the ring of both prophecy and command. He is thus subtly informing Victor that he has no…

‘Mad, bad and dangerous’, how accurate is this description of Gothic villains in the texts studied? The quote ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ was originally attributed to Lady Caroline Lamb in description of Lord Byron. The Romantic poet was infamous for his behaviour: excesses including huge debts, numerous affairs and aristocratic living.
