THINKING ACTIVITY ON FRANKENSTEIN BY MARY SHELLEY .

 FRANKENSTEIN BY MARY SHELLEY .

Q-1: What are some major differences between movie and the novel Frankenstein ?(Mention any three)

ANS:

There are many differences between movie and Book,but here I have to mention only three which are like below.

1- The first thing which I have noticed is that -In book Mary Shelley has described victors childhood very widely but in movie Kenneth Brenagh putted only two-three scenes for victor's childhood.

2- Second thing is that In Movie ,when victor gave life to Elizabeth and she realised that she is like a monster she committed suicide by burning her self and house, whereas In book victor himself destroyed female monster before he had complete it.

3-And the last one is In movie at very last monster died with victor ,with his creator or father but In book he flees away somewhere.

Q-2:Did this movie help you in understanding the plot of the novel?

ANS:

Movie directed by Kenneth brenagh is more faithful then others.It is necessary that watching something is effects more powerfully then reading; Therefore , I can say that -YES, movie helped me a lot in understanding the plot of novel.

Q-3:Who do you think is real monster?

ANS: 

I think neither monster nor victor is 'real monster', because they are merely puppets of situation, Both are correct on their side. victor has a desire to create something which ended death on earth but by mistake outcome become creature which is unacceptable. In other hand monster also have humanly desires and thus he had done all those things. So I found that situations created all those things ,therefore only circumstances are responsible; and they are "Real Monsters." 

Q-4: From Where Mary Shelley get the idea for the novel Frankenstein ?

ANS:

Mary Shelley, Percy, Lord Byron and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the novel's story. 

Q-5:Do you think the search for the knowledge is dangerous and destructive? 

ANS:

I Think that -The search for Knowledge is good ,but applying  this knowledge anywhere without knowing it's truthiness is somehow, maybe dangerous and destructive. Just like DR.Faustus. 

Q-6:What are some myths used by Mary Shelley in the Frankenstein?

ANS:

There are three myths used by Mary Shelley in Frankenstein.

1]- A Myth of Narcissism

2]- A Myth of Prometheus

3]- A myth of paradise lost by monster ,comparing himself first with ADAM and later with SATAN.

Q-7:Write about the narratology of the Frankenstein.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is work which considered as a frame narrative. It reflects story within the story. 

There are Three types of narrations but here we can find only one type which is first person singular, Furthermore writer wrote novel with three narrators which are:

All Three used "I" in their narration.
