Book synopsis

On the darkest shelf in the library, there stands a§novel with the title Frankenstein. Several hours§later the last page of the book is read. The first§thought that comes into one s mind: amazing; such a§great story, with such strong characters. But§something is wrong. Although the novel is quite§popular, the pieces do not fit, as the Monster seen§on television and every morning on the cereal box§named Frankenstein is completely different from the§one described in the novel, which was abandoned and§deprived of love. Furthermore it does not even have a§name in the original text. In our days it is most§frequently called Frankenstein and it is quite a§popular character. Obviously it underwent a huge§change, a complete metamorphosis. The purpose of this§short study is to present the change that§Frankenstein s Monster suffered. Since the appearance§of the Monster, nearly two centuries have passed§during which many contributed to the image of this§character we have today. To cover this search and to§unveil the shifts and mistakes in time, several§factors are taken into consideration and are presented.
