Mary Shelley's Frankenstein v/s Kenneth Branagh's movie Frankenstein:

             ''Mary Shelley's Frankenstein v/ s Kenneth Branagh's movie 

                 Frankenstein''

Hello readers this is my new task and thinking activity on Mary shelley's novel The Frankenstein, this particular movie based on some scientific as well as the Gothic element, this task is given by our faculty Hinamam Zala , this task is also about reviews on Kenneth brehnag movie Frankenstein which is shown by mam and in this blog I give my views on particular work.

1)What is gothic scientific fiction?

 Gothic novels were a popular genre during the late 1700s and early 1800s. Think of them as a combination of mystery and horror all rolled into one. Most Gothic novels take place in creepy settings like dark castles, damp dungeons, and dusty passageways. When writing her novel, Shelley employed these setting elements, adding an extra layer of mystery for her largely British audience. Frankenstein's laboratory is located in Central Europe, a place most of her readers had not visited.

2)What is a frame narrative?

Frame story, also called frame tale, overall unifying story within which one or more tales are related.

In the single story, the opening and closing constitutes a frame. In the cyclical frame story—that is, a story in which several tales are related—some frames are externally imposed and only loosely bind the diversified stories.

3)Do you have confusion about the title of the novel?

Yes, I get some confusion in the title of novel, this particular novel written by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is a masterpiece of Gothic and scientific element. But my concern is about the conflict between the title of novel .as we all know that the victor Frankenstein is a scientist and he tried to make a human and his challenges the human manufacturing.

He got success in himmat a man but his creation is seems to be e a very bad and ugly looking just because of lots of stitches and his body shape. Monster plays a vital role in play as well as Victor Frankenstein also plays a vital role so so I get bit of confusion that a monster his to link with his own identity, Frankenstein creator of monster must give him name and the world novel is knows by  monsters name.

4)What is tabula rasa?

Definition of tabula rasa

1: the mind in its hypothetical primary blank or empty state before receiving outside impressions

5)What is the significance of the subtitle "The Modern Prometheus"?

The subtitle of Shelley’s work, “The Modern Prometheus,” surely implies the content of the novel, bringing our minds the ancient Promethean myths. An analysis on the plot and the main characters in the stories, Prometheus and Dr. Frankenstein, may lead us to the answer why Mary Shelley subtitled her book Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus.

6)How is the beginning and the end of the movie?

In the very beginning of the movie we can various things of victor Frankenstein's Life, such as his Study and his experiment. At the very end of the story we can justify that Victor Frankenstein learn so many things as his own story...as per my views the of victor Frankenstein present that the completeness of story... everything problematic things are ended now...
The realization of monster presents that he surrendered by circumstances and society. He realized that he done so many wrong things and just want to justify himself so he committed death with his creator victor Frankenstein.

7)Do you feel the effect of horror in the movie?

Yes, as we all know that Victor Frankenstein made a creature, based on some scientific experiment, who

Looks like the human beings. As such looking of creature is like a monster just because of his looks and his tremendous power and strength so we can consider as whenever The monster comes in a display in a frame we get some kind of unexpectable look which is ugly the most, is dark voice his green eyes and the places where you would like to stay, also fill effect of horror whenever monster used to kill someone generally the family members of victor Frankenstein. When we talk to particular scene of movie I feel scared when it was a night scene and monster came to meet Victor Frankenstein for meeting it was a scene of a dark night so I feel somewhere a little bit of horror elements.

8)Do you think the director has used appropriate symbols in the movie?

Here very much symbols are used by director to switching something and to signify something where is special at particular situation for example , here I'm  give you a very brief photographs of symbols which is used by director in this particular movie signify something very superior.

Here  the fire symbolise ''passion''

The necklace symbolise "temporary beauty"

Knowledge is also consider as the most important symbol in this particular movie, that lust for knowledge leads victor Frankenstein towards death.

Other one is cross it not sustain the idea of religion but it sustain the idea of love and purity in this movie.
The man's lust is more one symbol in it that a man can't survive without companion. See the image of the monster who piping From window and looking his companion. So this are the some symbols which makes movie very significant.

9)What do you think about the character of the monster in the movie?

The character of monster created by Victor Frankenstein with use of scientific experiments and the basically look of monster is a very scary and horror just because of lots of stitches and body structure.this is the concerned office outer body it means external body but when we talked about the internal quality of monster we come to know that is the one who processing a very humanitarian quality in his nature. When we see from the very beginning of the novel or movie e The monster is looks like a green and huge but is like up innocent child of Frankenstein you don't know the language you don't know how to live how to behave.

this particular movie and Mary shelley's novel Frankenstein emphasis humanitarian quality in.  monsters character. The way he learning with reading of John milton's paradise lost learning language the way he protect de laiziz family we can consider monster as a pure soul and good creature. Just because of rejection of  Victor Frankenstein monster come to be monster. Gifts that whatever is happening with me is just because of Victor Frankenstein, so he decided that I will take revenge.

so this way I tried to out some arguments in favour of monsters character character.

10) Does the movie help you to understand narrative structure of the novel?

Yes, of course this particular movie helps a lot to understand the very basic idea of novel and it will help to image in particular scene while reading a novel we can imagine very well we can connect indoors very well from novel to movie . In addition I would like to say that this movie is a very faithful withdrawal so we do not get any comparisons and cross conflicts between novel and movie.

After watching this movie live connect with novel more, imagine any scene or character more lively and government Deuce x-ray image of movie e in the novel we can interpret more with the help of movie some movie dialogues we can take as a example and is a quotation during writing.

11)What do you think about the creation of lady monster in the novel and Elizabeth's look of a monster in the movie?

As the movie present the look of Elizabeth is much more faithful with novels perception here we can clearly

See see thegood interpretation of novel in to movie.

12)Think about Victor's acceptance of Elizabeth and rejection of the monster?

Victor Frankenstein as creation of a monster is a trial and we can say that it is an experiment to changing human manufacturing. we can add one more thing in that particular question that Victor Frankenstein challenge is professor about human manufacturing so in that perception Victor Frankenstein eagerly wants to make a human instead of being awakening about demonstrate results

Of this experiment. So he made a very e tremendous powerful human but his looks is too weird and if we can an acceptable in our social life. After getting this kind of failure in his experiment and having such a ugly looking man, I get completely disappointment and left the monster.

But when we see the creation of lady Elizabeth in a same personification of again ugly looking creature. But here we see that he truly loves her and he ready to get her back in any condition. Unlock the prime condition of everyone Victor Frankenstein also follow this path and he made his wife.

On this particular event we can see that after knowing the process of human manufacturing Victor Frankenstein made monster and lady monster as per is on perception,as per his need.

13)Do you think the director is faithful to the novel? 

Kenneth Branagh took a stab at a faithful retelling of Frankensteinwith his 1994 filmMary Shelley's Frankenstein. The movie does a slightly better job articulating the nuances of the Creature than most other adaptations, but still falls short of the mark. The film also changes the ending in a particularly jarring way, not only bringing the Creature's bride to life, but giving her Elizabeth's head and memories.
