Frankenstein and CDC

In the movie “Frankenstein,” the Monster can be seen as a symbol of the “other” and represents society’s fear and rejection of people who are different. The film emphasizes the Monster’s physical deformities and makes him look really weird, and this leads to him being rejected by society. This reflects how society used to treat people with disabilities in the early 20th century, and it shows how people with physical differences were viewed negatively.

Additionally, the film shows how being excluded from society can have serious consequences and lead to isolation, which is often what happens to people with disabilities. The Monster can’t communicate well, and people are scared of him, which ends up causing a lot of violence and tragedy. This is a bit like how disabled people were often left out and isolated from their communities. It shows why it’s important to have inclusive and supportive social structures.

“Frankenstein” is a good example of how society used to think about disability back then and how it affected the lives of people with disabilities. It can help us have important conversations about ableism and why we need to be more inclusive and understanding as a society.

    1. It’s interesting that the movie Frankenstein can be interpreted in that way, presenting a hidden message. It’s sad to see how he was getting treated by others.
