When Frankenstein sees the monster for the first time and his reaction is to run away What is the situation in the scene? What do others do to the Monster? The monster wakes up with a bang of lightning, knowing nothing but when Frankenstein sees the monster his first reaction is to run away leaving the monster to wander around on his own. When the monster goes out he also gets bitten by dogs and got hurt by the town people but thats another scene. Im not sure if Frankenstein is called others but leaving his own creation to find its own way through life is really bad. Nobody on earth can survive without parents. Youll just die as a baby. The monsters brain is just like a newly born baby. Everything is just about his face and his smell etc. / appearance. How does this affect the Monster? What impact does it have on his life? What choices does he make as a result? Nobody takes care of him and teaches him anything. When he goes off in the world he just scares people without knowing he is making a big crime. He just wants love but if Frankenstein teaches the monster everything he knows and gives the monster a name, he might not be hated; Frankenstein might even give the monster a mask so everybody thinks hes normal, and in the end he might even take the mask off and let everybody know that ugly people can make a difference. This made the monster turn bad slowly and at last he killed William and Elizabeth and even himself in the epilogue. If Frankenstein hadnt left the monster on his own none of this would have happened. It all relates to the first scene.

How will you change the situation? How might things happen differently during the scene? This is the real scene:

How will this affect the Monster? What impact will it have on his life? What choices will he make as a result?

The monster wakes up with a bang of lightning. Frankenstein jumps around with joy and helps the monster up gratefully. He started teaching the monster how to speak. Clerval comes in and screams, Frankenstein said its ok, this is a creation of mine, and its really friendly. He made a mask for him so nobody will get frightened. He also made some perfume for him so nobody will smell the stink. After that he introduced the monster to everybody. When they got home that night he gave the monster a name / Big. From that moment on, both Frankensteins life and the monsters life was way better and nothing from the real play happened ever since.

This will affect the monster by making him friendly and happy for the rest of his life without having any problems unless everyone finds out he is made from dead body parts and that he is very ugly. The impact that it will have on his life is that he will not have any problems and he will not get hurt. Everything will be better in his life. He might even go live with Frankensteins family. The choices he makes will be good choices with no death. He might even find some friends. But if he finds a husband everything will be ruined and the people will try to capture Frankenstein and the monster. But if the monster loves Frankenstein, he might even protect him. If he finds a husband she might see his real face and freak out. If he gets hurt and has to go to the hospital, the doctors will find out about him.

The window at the ceiling slowly opens and a man climbs in quickly, climbs down to the floor. A wire runs down under a big plastic sheet which has a right hand in sight. The man / Frankenstein quickly attaches some wires to other points of the hidden body and waits for some lightning to strike the metal rack in the sky. He stands beside the sheet. Before the wires touch the monster they go through some spinning discs with handles. Frankenstein: Soon you shall awake my friend! I will take great care of you. Finishes the last stiches. Frankenstein walks to a closet. Picks up a variety of stuff from the closet and walks back to his chair putting the stuff on a small table. Stuff: mask and some perfume/ fake ready for the monster, new fancy clothes for the monster. Frankenstein: Ahhhhhhhh! Sighs.

Clerval looked frightened Clerval: You know its wrong!! You shouldnt do that! I will have to forgive you this time but I cant let you do this anymore. Looks sadly at Frankenstein Frankenstein: Ok, Ok, dont look at me like that now lets have some wine. Frankenstein picks up an old bottle of wine, picks up 2 old wine glasses, dusts both of them, poured some in both of the glasses and gave it to clerval. Frankenstein: Cheers! Clerval: Cheers to your creation!! Big: Want, want, want!!! Biggy want, googoo gaagaa blabloglihuhudnataresaw. Frankenstein: Ok biggy my friend I shall give you some wine and some bread if you want! Big: WANTWANTWANTWANT Frankenstein jogged happily to a small basket which has fruits, bread and a bit of wine. He picks an apple, a loaf of bread and a whole bottle of wine from the basket. Clerval puts his glass down. Clerval: You think he can eat that much???! While walking slowly to big Frankenstein: Yeah!! Look at his size!! Hes 2 times bigger than you. Smiles to Big and gives him the bread along with the wine and the apple. Big finishes the loaf in 2 bites, finishes the wine in 3 mouthfuls and eats the apple whole. Clerval looks at big, stunned. Clerval: Frankie, did you see him eat all that?! Thats insane!!! You sure made a good job choosing the graves! How did he know all this?? At least he knows the word want and his name. I Think he herd his name from you.
