Everything Relates to American Horror Story

I think that the first reason why Frankenstein’s monster has changed appearances from Mary Shelley’s novel to the film Frankenstein is because people who created the film felt that the monster needed a distinct look. From reading the novel, you would or should know that Frankenstein’s monster is clearly not a green creature, but just a gruesome mash-up of human parts. This figure, although grotesque, is hard to replicate and doesn’t give the impression of monster. When most people think of a monster, they probably think of something off color, stitched up or broken, or a creature covered in blood. I think that if this novel came out in today’s world, the monster might actually be portrayed as exactly what the novel wants us to think that it is. I think this is because now people find monsters to be everywhere and as everything. An example of a monster that seems to be based off of Frankenstein’s monster would be the character Kyle. He is created by the witches in the movie and they do this by stitching together different parts of different guys to create the perfect guy and then bring him to life with their magic. This creature I see as a monster but he is not as ugly as the monster of Frankenstein in the film. This character also acts similarly to how Frankenstein’s monster acts. He has a lot of emotion and is conscious of what is happening around him, how every he is portrayed as dumb, and he does not want to continue, just like Mary Shelley’s monster. Basically, I think that Frankenstein’s monster changes throughout time because what people thinks is scary changes but no matter who the character is or how he changes physically, he still remains with the same scary persona.
