I noticed some major differences between the book Frankenstein and the movie adaption I watched call frankenweenie. At, the beginning, the stories were very similar in the way that the scientists were both were ambitious, daring, challenging and intelligent. Both enjoy questioning the unthinkable and the nature of everything around them. So, I would say the scientist character’s traits are very similar. However, I think everything else was near enough different because the movie was a more modernized version of the book and the movie was a Disney movie. Which means the movie wasn’t scary at all because the movie was intended for kids. Which is a big difference because their original book was made to scare for everyone reading it because it would talk about the unthinkable. But this movie was made for children to be a more light-hearted movie. I also found the intentions of the scientists were completely different. In the book, the scientist was adopted and at university, everyone would laugh at him. Which drove him to do the unthinkable because he wanted to prove to everyone that he was a good scientist. However, in the movie the scientist was a young boy and the monster was the boy’s dog that he lost and loved dearly. Which are completely different because in the book the scientists were trying to prove something while the movie, he just wanted his dog back. Another difference is that in the book is the scientist stole a bunch of beautiful dead body parts and brought them together and created some horrific. Whereas the movie he brought back his dog that he lost and loved. The final difference between the book and the movie was the reaction of the scientist when the monster came back. In the movie, he was horrified and was regretting bringing him alive. He was consent annoyed because his intention was to prove to everyone that he could be a great scientist. While in the movie he was just happy to have his dog and friend back.
