Summary

Frankenstein is a modern Prometheus, as the title says, because he overcomes human limits when he creates the monster, replacing God, the only creator, and for this reason he is punished with death.

The doctor and the monster, the creator and the created, one is the twin of the other , one the alter ego of the other.

TWIN

In the novel there is the marginalization of those who are different. At first the monster has a good nature, but when he is rejected by society , for his terrifying appearance, he becomes evil and kills in revenge.

OVERCOME HUMAN LIMITS

themes

...and, forgetting my loneliness and my deformity, I dared to try to feel happy.

Life and death were only ideal barriers to be broken to pour a river of light onto our world immersed in darkness. A new species would revere me as its creator and source of life.

QUOTE:

• There is a theory that the creature behaves monstrously because it has been implanted with the brain of a criminal

• The first film adaptation of Frankenstein was a 1910 short film, produced by Edison Studios in New York. For “Frankenstein Jr.” by Mel Brooks (1974) the same sets were used.

• The novel has a very curious origin: In 1816 Mary Shelley and her husband spent some time in Switzerland, in the company of Lord Byron, who at the time was the lover of Mary's half-sister. To pass the time, the group decides to challenge each other to compose a scary story. Mary didn't know what to write at first, but inspiration came to her in a dream. Encouraged by her husband, Mary decided to make that dream her successful novel.

• Mary was only 19 years old when the first edition was published anonymously in 1818 with her husband's preface. Given the success it had, the author published it in France but this time with her name. In 1831 the third edition was published, heavily revised by the author.

Summary

We don’t like to bore. We don’t want to be repetitive. Communicating in the same old ways is boring and doesn’t engage people. We do it differently. We annihilate boredom. We create things the brain likes to consume because they stimulate it. Visual content is a transversal, universal language, like music. We can understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.
