The differences between the book of Frankenstein and the film.


The first difference is that the creature kills the dogs of the pirates when they scape because they heard a noise.
The second one is that Frankenstein's mother dies giving birth to William and in the book she dies because she is ill.
Also, in the film, Frankenstein's dad saves the newly born.
Then, Victor's father prepares a party to say farewell to his son and he gives him a present from mum, that is a diary. In the book it doesn't say.
After that in the film, Frankenstein's teacher shows him a monkey's arm, which moves when you put electricity into it, to help him.
Something else is that Henry and Victor are friends after being at University, whilst in the book they are friends before going to University.
Besides in the book, they don't exagerated the smallpox epidemic and in the film they put more emphasis.
Moreover, Frankenstain's teacher is killed by a man who doesn't want the vaccine against the smallpox and there is no mention of it in the book.
Another difference is that in the film, Victor cuts the head of the murtherer to use it on the body he wants to make.
Also Frankenstein takes amniothic liquid from a pregnant woman and in the book it isn't mentioned.
Later, in the film the monster wakes up and a heavy door hits him. In the text it doesn't appear.
Another comparison is that in the film the town's people think the monster has colera and they want to hit him.
Then, in the film we can see the family's father playing the flute in the forest and meanwhile the creature observes him. Besides the family's mother teaches her daughter to read. Here the difference is that in the book she teaches the girlfriend of the son of the family.
The fifteenth difference is that in the pictures you see the owner of the house hits the poor man because he can't pay the rent. The monster helps the poor man and to thank the creature, he invites him to his hause. Little later the rest of the family arrive and they think that the monster has hit the old man. It is because of this that they start to hit it. In the book the owner of the house doesn't appear and the family hits the monster because the poor man shouts when he touches the creature's face and they think that the monster wants to hurt him.
Moreover, William sees the creature in the forest while playing the flute and he gets frightened and his chain falls from his neck onto the floor.
Besides Victor rides a horse to go to search for the monster in the ice and in the book Victor rides a sledge.
In the end the creature pulls the Elizabeth's heart out and she dies, while in the book it strangles her.
Finally, we can see in the fim how Frankenstein uses Justine's body and the Elizabeth's head to create the monster's girlfriend.

Also Victor wants the new creation and the monster, too. They fight for the body and it gets burned. In the book Victor destroy the body and the monster kills Henry...
