The portrayal of the birth of Frankenstein from the clips and Mary Shelley’s novel are displayed completely differently. In both clips, the scientists are extremely excited throughout the scene of Frankenstein’s birth. In the clip by James Whale once Frankenstein moves his arm revealing life, the scientist is so enthusiastic to the point that he believes he knows what it feels like to “be God.” This reveals his pride in his creation of Frankenstein. In the clip by Kenneth Branagh, the scene of Frankenstein’s birth reveals enthusiasm as well through his choice of background music. The scene displays the scientist’s excitement when Frankenstein opens his eyes after the sparks caused by the machinery. In Mary Shelley’s novel however, Victor, the scientist, feels automatic anxiety by Frankenstein’s appearance once he has come to life: “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” In this scene it almost looks as though the scientist regrets his hard work and invested time in the creation of Frankenstein. Thus, both clips reveal a more prideful scientist whereas in the novel the scientist is displeased with his creation.
