After reading the frankenstein book and watching the movie you will notice the little resemblance they have and the inconsistencies they having from one another. The Overall proposition is the same: A man uses dead tissue to create a monster. Then the creator becomes disgusted with his creation and then tries to lock it up but the creature escapes and causes unnecessary chaos among others.

Although This part in the book is much more detailed than the movie was. Both the movie and book share the same human reaction to the monster. People start to run from him due to his unpleasant face features, some try to kill him out of spite.

There are many more differences than there are similarities. The novel is different from the book because; The monster is unable to speak, the audience aren’t able to experience any humanity that he has, and also the monster is called frankenstein. The movies tries to input fear and suspense instead of feeling pity. In the book when the monsters finds a young girl by the water he saves her but in the film, he throws her in the water. Another difference that stands out is that in the movie she is knocked unconscious for a short amount of time but in the book she is killed. The biggest difference is the purpose of both the movie and the book. The movies purpose was to scare the viewer and show them something they never imagined could or would actually happen. While the book’s purpose was to not only bring horror to your soul but for you to experience your thoughts and feelings. After reading the book you will close it having been fascinated, and enlightened.
