Abstract
frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly is a classic novel that was written nearly two centuries ago. The title of the book is a reference to the scientist in the novel, Victor frankenstein, who creates this creature that has the likeness of a human, but is larger and stronger, somewhat like a monster. The story is about the creation of this being and the trials and tribulations that take place between the creation and the scientist. Since this book was written and first published in 1818, the story of frankenstein has taken many forms and changed in many ways. The story has been adapted in many ways, and popular culture as changed the story in considerable ways. This evident from the fact that frankenstein has now come to refer to the 'monster' that the scientist created and not the scientist himself who originally carried the name. In addition, the image of 'frankenstein' is firmly planted in most people's heads, but this is the image that was created in the films and not in the original book. It is an interesting course of study to examine story of frankenstein has changed from its conception to present day. (Heffernan 1997: 133).
