Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, directed by Kenneth Branagh, is one of the more faithful modern adaptations of the novel. The film itself follows the same structure as the novel, opening with Victor being discovered in the arctic by Captain Walton. We follow Victor’s mad descent into creating life, splintering off into the story of The Creation as he travels through the wilderness. The Creation’s rampage remains truthful to the novel, but an interesting divergence that this adaptation takes is with the death of Elizabeth. Victor, distraught with grief, decides to reanimate Elizabeth. He brings her back to life, but The Creation decides to try to take Elizabeth for himself, as true revenge for the bride Victor refused to make him. In the fight between the two men, she sees herself and becomes so disgusted that she sets herself on fire, burning the mansion down with her. Returning to the arctic, and at the end of our story, Victor dies and The Creation is there to mourn. The Creation, realizing he has no one left, burns himself to death while floating away with his creator’s body.
