#Frankenstein’s creature

[goodusernamepending]

I want an adaptation of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein where you never see the creature’s face. It’s just out of frame or you see him from behind and all you have are people’s reactions to seeing him.

It’s just so hard to visually capture the idea of him because I don’t think it’s just that he has a messed up mug or looks like a corpse that scares people, I think they see him and their instincts go “that thing was not made by god, that thing should not exist. You don’t belong here”

I really like the idea that the creature’s effect on people is more psychological than anything else but makeup doesn’t really cover that, leaving it up to the imagination however….

Like, I get where the Creature’s coming from in asking Victor to make him a companion just like him. He’s incredibly lonely and desperate. He tried doing things right, and it clearly isn’t working—all it takes is one look at him, and people freak out and jump to the worst conclusions. That’s an awful way to live for anyone, and it’s not a strange wish to have—“to be with someone just like me.”

But it also doesn’t change that his request is also fucked up. “Make someone with all the same problems I have so they’ll have no other recourse; I won’t be alone then.”

I’m really sorry, dude, but I’m on Victor’s side in this one. There really is no easy solution here. I agree it’s not fair; but life just isn’t.

Also, this is beside the point, but it seems like everything wrong with the Creature’s appearance was unintentional. But with Creature 2.0, it would be on purpose. Victor tried to make him beautiful, and it didn’t work out. Now Victor has to deliberately make the next one just as flawed. “Do it again, but this time make it look bad on purpose.” The rose-tinted glasses of his imagination are gone, so he can see everything he’s doing with absolute clarity and has a more cynical view of how things could turn out. There’s nothing beautiful and inspiring about this project.

Some dreams just shouldn’t come true. They make sense as dreams, but reality is harsh.
