The Bride of Frankenstein is one of the most successful sequels to Mary Shelley and her famous story of Frankenstein. There were other sequels and more moder verisons of the story but both James Whale; who was the director and especially John L. Balderston; who wrote the movie, decided to shake things up and create a horror and sci flim where the monster gets a love interest.

Despite what may have happened in the original movie, in this verison Frankenstein and the monster end up being alive. It starts off with Mary Shelley herself claiming there is more to the story and it automatically takes us back to the last scence of Frankenstein (1931). The father of the girl who was drowned by the monster, wishes to see the bones of the monster, but ends up falling into a pit that little does that the monster is still living and would soon strangle him. Frankenstein is found and returned to Elizabeth and with a little care, is well again. He becomes caught up in the fact of that he can try again once more. Elizabeth is not so fon dof the idea and starts to think that this time around, things will not end up so well for Frankenstein. Frankenstein and his mentor are reunited again and start looking for parts for the mate. The monster ends up saving a woman, the woman and her screams are heard by two hunters and automatically come to her rescue. Long story short, the monster kills the hunters and escapes the woods. Fast forward a bit, Frankenstein does not wish to continue on with the idea of the collaboration to make the monster a mate and his newly wife Elizabeth is kidnapped and used to mak Frankenstein do his part. Of course, Dr. Frankenstein works hard and hard enough to make The Bride of Frankenstein an actual creature. The monster when seeing his bride, automatically feels a connection and his first word is Friend? but the bride ends up rejecting him. The monster becomes emotional and claims that his bride hates him. Frankenstein and Elizabeth fleed the scene knowing that this cannot end well and the monster ends up pulling a lever and is the cause of the destruction of the tower and lab.

The similarity between the two, would be obivously be that once again, Frankenstein was not so successful. Even though this time around, the body parts chosen were not specifically chosen but one thing that was missing was naturing them and having Frankenstein tell them its okay and a sense of comfort to the monsters. Just like in the first, Frankenstein runs away from the creations instead of actually taking as much effort as he did to make the creatures but instead to show them whats right from the beginning and most likely, this story could have had a different turn out if the bride felt comfortable from the start of her being alive.
