Bride of Frankenstein tells us about this creature created by a scientist – a creature that soon will find itself between a monster and a human.
The overall landscape around the movie suggests a frightening feeling. Mysteries as well as suspense are the main points that lead the movie into its real world. In this film, we see Frankenstein “the monster” discovering a new identity of his – a never-shown-before kindness. Often, Frankenstein uses the word “good” to express his feeling toward the use of cigarette, and drink. Friendship is the key that has awaken his true nature, and new ways of seeing life are coming out of his soul – a different perspective to see the world. These are the characteristics that make us see Frankenstein in a totally different way. He is not a monster anymore; now, we can perceive innocence coming from his heart. Personally, I can’t imagine Frankenstein hurting people, being a monster.
After observing him carefully, I can’t help thinking of him as a child. And that’s what he truly is; an infant who has to discover the joys of life. However, people, inside the movie cannot see him that way. His originality can’t allow him to have happiness between his hands, no matter what he tries, no matter when; no matter how hard he works on fighting for peoples love, they’ll just never give it to him.
Unfortunately, people have no mercy for what one looks like on the surface of his or her skin. This is where Frankenstein has been placed by the phenomenon of prejudice. Even his wife after having been brought back to life cannot accept the existence of a monster-looking being that is Frankenstein.
My question is how come can a being that sacrifice itself to save another’s life – at the end of the movie – be a monster?
