1. Thoughts on Victor Frankenstein so far?
2. What do you think of how this book is written? Do you find it hard to follow?
3. What do you think of how Victor feels about Elizabeth?
4. This story does not focus on Frankenstein’s monster, but rather, Dr. Frankenstein himself. In many film depictions, we mostly see how the monster interacts with people. Why do you think the story was altered so much for film?
5. Why do you think Justine confessed to the murders that she did not commit?
6. Who is to blame for the creature’s actions: the creature, or Victor Frankenstein?
7. Who is the real “monster” of this story?
8. Although there are several different adaptations of Frankenstein, the most famous adaptation is the film from the 1930s, where the monster can barely talk. However, in this novel, we see that the monster can speak, and is able to speak quite well. Why do you think they changed the monster so drastically for the film adaptation?
9 Do you feel sorry for the monster?
10. What do you think of this book? Do you enjoy the original story, or do you have a preference for one of the film adaptations?
