I’d love for you to dig a bit deeper in your comparison of the story and the movie. We shouldn’t be asking which was better, so much as, how were they different? How did each shape the thematic material to fit its own needs? The ending is a great example—accept that the rather ambiguous and anticlimactic ending is there for a purpose, and then ask, so why? What does that ending evoke or suggest?

In reply to catho89. Yeah, I'm with you, I just can't help feeling for the monster. I guess because his desires are so simple, yet so embedded in humanity, that it's impossible not to feel for him. Anyone can relate to what the monster is going through, everyone gets a little lonely sometimes; but how many people can say they've gone on a do or die mission to destroy a supernatural force that they themselves have created? Not many, I assume. However, I think we can still agree and empathize with his decision to try and destroy a murdering monster. I just think we relate with the monster on a deeper, more human level, and that's why we're so compelled to feel for him.

Even with all of the murders in the second half of the novel, I still can’t help feeling more compassion for the monster than for Frankenstein. Perhaps Shelley is just manipulating me, but I think we are not supposed to be able to make a decision about the monster’s nature by the end because she has made you feel for him. By the end of the novel, who did you feel for more?
