Frankenstein: The film against the book.


Well, I’m going to talk about the differences between the film and the book:
In the film Victor’s mother gives a diary to Victor.
In the book Victor Frankenstein’s mother dies because she’s ill instead of it (in the film) she dies during William’s birth.
In the film Victor only has one brother: William, but the book there is another one: Ernest.
In the book Victor meets Henry in the school but in the film they meet in the University.
Another difference is that in the film the professor die and Victor take the diary of the professor and there are the instructions to create life. In the book Frankenstein investigates by his own way but in the film he follows the steps of the professor.
Frankenstein’s laboratory is on an island but in the film it’s in a village.
When Frankenstein tried the experiment he thought that it failed but then the monster wake up and Frankenstein ran away. In the book the monster wakes up very quickly.
In the film the monster saves Felix from a man but in the book anything of it happens.
In the film Victor receive a visit from Elizabeth but in the book they only talk by letter.
In the book Justine is accused of William’s murder and she dies in prison, otherwise in the film they hung her.
In the book the monster helps a girl who falls into the lake and then the girl’s father shoot the monster, but in the film it doesn’t happens.
In the book the monster strangle her but in the film the monster takes off Elisabeth’s heart.
In the film the monster kills Victor’s father but in the book Victor’s father dies because he’s very sad.
In the film Dr. Frankenstein wants give life to Elizabeth again because he loves her and the monster wants her to be his female.
In the book the monster burn himself but in the book he dies burning next to Frankenstein.

I think that is a nice film although it has differences from the film.
