In her travels with Piercy Shelley (her 'husband') they encounter the fortress Frankenstein in Germany. (The Franks (the French) were originally from Germany and this was their principle site. In German Frankenstein means 'Rock of the Franks') When they (Mary and Piercy) were there the fortress was being used as a scientific laboratory in electro-statics, a new science at the time. One of the curiosities of electro-statics was its relation to living things. (Frogs legs would jump when jolted with a charge.) This is very much the scene of Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory in the novel.

∙ 11y agoThe movie- the l93l version got into some censorial hot water in an incident where the newly re-animated Monster is going for a walk in the park, encounters a little girl ( played by the child actress Marilyn Harris) I don"t know who starts the ball rolling, the girl thinks, innocently enough he is just a strange looking man, but a fracas occurs and Frankenstein Tosses the girl in the water and she dies! I"m not sure how they handled this on the screen, the attack was unprovoked- watch out for Dirty Old Men in Lincoln Park with staybolts in their necks.. The scene did look like Lincoln Park, by the way. Child abuse- and in this case murder well that rang down (All Stop).

∙ 12y agoI would imagine the Holy Office ( Vatican censoring arm) would not have looked with favor on it. Frankenstein , aside from adding a phrase to the language- ( it"s a Frankenstein monster!) essentially revived the whole artificial-life modulus of science fiction, and here divorced from occultism such as reincarnation, spells, ghosts. The idea has been with us ever since- and there are branch lines such as mixed human body ( or CNS) parts and robotic frames- such as Validus in Adventure Comics' (Fatal Five) and numerous brain transplants into wild animals by Mad scientists. On a more human level- the idea of artificial life has been juvenilized into, for example Pinocchio, which was writted about fifty years after Frankenstein. To please the moralists, it is always doomed to failure. My guess the churchmen would have rung- Thumbs down! all stop!
