Frankenstein
Storyboard Text
- EXPOSITION
- CONFLICT
- RISING ACTION
- Victor Frankenstein is found chasing a monster at the North Pole. He meets Captain Walton, who is on a scientific expedition. Victor tells him his life story.
- CLIMAX
- Frankenstein discovered the secret of bringing things to life. He uses alchemy (a medieval chemical science), galvanism ( electricity produced by chemical action) and body parts from a graveyard (grave-robbing) and assembled a "creature" who came to life. Upon seeing his creation, he ran in fear, deserting it. This forced the Monster to fend for himself.
- FALLING ACTION
- The Monster searched for companionship and love. However, due to his hideous nature, caused from the dissection of different human body parts to create him, he only found rejection. Bitter and hurt, the Monster searched for his creator to get revenge.
- RESOLUTION
- Frankenstein starts to experience phantasmagoria (a sequence of real or imaginary images seen in a dream) after disbanding the Monster and falling ill. The Monster then kills Frankenstein's younger brother, William and forces Frankenstein to make him a bride. When Victor breaks his promise, the Monster kills his friend, Clerval, and then Victor's wife, Elizabeth.
- Out of revenge, Frankenstein follows the Monster north. It is here that he runs into Walton and his expedition. After telling the crew this unbelievable story, he dies. The Vampyre by John Polidori, shares several motifs with Frankenstein: the superhuman strength of the monster and a path of destructiveness leading to the death of those who surround it.
- The monster comes to pay his last respects and tells Walton that he intends on killing himself by setting himself on fire. Marry Shelly wrote the gothic horror story, Frankenstein, during her stay at Villa Diodati (a mansion in the village near Lake Geneva, where Lord Byron rented it and Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley stayed as a visit).
