Remnant Trust: Frankenstein

Frankenstein is a monster who is confused with what purpose he was created. He doesn’t understand why he is around, just to be ignored. He even compares himself to a child and his creator to a father but doesn’t understand why his “father” would disown him. He says things, such as how humans are like fire. Fire can cook food and keep him warm but when he touches it, he gets burnt. Likewise, humans seem so good to each other, but are so mean to him. He says he could feel like both “Adam” and “Satan” after he found the Paradise Lost book, because Victor Frankenstein wanted nothing to do with him.


Our culture doesn’t see the monster as such a bad thing. Our culture has made cereal brands, costumes, books, and movies over him. There are at least one hundred films available retelling the monsters’ story. Some examples are “The Frankenstein Symphony” By Francis Dhomont and Christopher Isherwood’s modern version of Frankenstein, titled “Frankenstein: The True Story.” You can even go on the web and find hundreds of things that have to do with him. You don’t even have to search to web to find him. Go into the grocery store and look at the cereal brands or even watch the children or adults during Halloween because you would be surprised on how big this monster really is! -- Written by ENGL083-36N Group 4
