Frankenstein is a story about a scientist who created a monster through stitching different dead body parts together and reviving it through electricity. It is a novel/movie that has the main purpose of scaring people. In simple terms, it was made to be part of the horror genre. However this work is not just something scary, it also contains moral issues relating to science and society. Frankenstein showed its audience that morality should be taken into consideration when using and working with science. Science is not an instrument to do anything that one wants. It is a way of doing things for the better of the entire community. In the film, the scientists revived a girl monster just because they want to revive another dead body again. However, they did not expect that these monsters will eventually lead to their own destruction. At the same time, Frankenstein's monster also killed a lot of civilians. Whenever we use science, whatever the purpose is, we should always think of its effects on the environment, people, and society.
In the movie, the monster was dumb. In the movie, the monster needed to practice and had a hard time in speaking with other people. I think the purpose of this was to make the monster scarier in the movie. It is because the inability of the monster to communicate with the people caused the tension in the story. The civilians did not know what the monster wants, therefore they think it is something to be scared of. I guess making the monster dumb in the movie worked because it was able to send the message that misunderstanding can lead to grave consequences and at the same time, it made the movie funnier.
