As I read the birth scene in Novel by Mary Shelley and watched the clip of Frankenstein 1994, I noticed major differences in the use of the equipment and the procedure used to give birth to the creature.

In Novel, Shelley has penned indistinct procedure for the transformation of lifeless creature into life by describing only “infuse of spark of being into lifeless thing.” Whereas, movie clip from 1994, has shown a broader perspective to describe the procedure. It shows the materials like the table, harness and few other strange unseen equipments along with a huge transparent tube to supply eel fishes directly inside a tank like apparatus where the lifeless body of creature was kept immersed into a liquid to transfuse the electric shocks and to bring it into life. Next, Frankenstein injects the body of creature from multiple direction and also the tank like apparatus seemed to be heated from the bottom, which is not made visible to the readers in Novel.
