Frankenstein respone

Both clips were described the same feeling to me, which I can see how excited Frankenstein was when he was experimented to pull a dead monster back to the world. But in the novel, he was fearful and nervous. This experiment was his dream, he spent almost 2 years on his dream to verify he could do that and he was not crazy. In fact, the beauty of the dream vanished. He could not accept his art as a monster and he just wanted to run away, then he understood he was wrong. The thing he had done was so contra-natural. I don’t see this picture on these two clips, especially the James Whale’s clip, in his clip, I saw an enthusiastic scientist and how he satisfied with his experiment when monster was alive. Also he had three sane spectators and one assistant. This additional scene made me feel that Frankenstein was more like a crazy scientist, everything he had done is just to highlight his success. It’s totally different from Mary Shelly’s novel. In the novel, the experiment was only doing by Frankenstein from the beginning to end, and he kept it as the secret. By contrast, I prefer to Kenneth Branagh’s clip than James’s clip. The scene was closer to novel,” I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and convulsive motion agitated its limbs” (35). It’s exactly what I see in Kenneth’s clip. Frankenstein was screaming when the monster opened his eyes. However, both clips had their own style to describe how Frankenstein feels after he succeed bring a monster back to life.
