1. How does Frankenstein the book and the film reflect upon the role of morality and science?
Frankenstein is a creature made of different parts from different humans. If we base on religious beliefs and moral ethics, the creation of Frankenstein seems immoral and as what the old lady in the movie, it’s considered as blasphemy, an act against God. On the other side, Frankenstein’s creation is a great accomplishment in the field of Science. This only proves that Science and religion never intersect each other.
2. The difference between the movie adaptation of the monster and in the book is that the monster was able to carry a decent conversation. Why was the monster made dumb? Did it work?
The effect of the dumbness of the monster on me is that it adds humour and drama to its life. Because of he can’t speak well, his encounter with the blind man seemed so funny. And it also made it more dramatic because the condition put the monster into a more pitiful set up. For me it really a big difference and it made the movie more worth watching.
