Frankenstein is the name of a scientist who tried to create a person. He worked tirelessly to accomplish this feat. It backfired on him when he created a monster. Most people think that Frankenstein is the name of the monster, Frankenstein is the scientist's last name.

Although many people have come to believe that the monster's name is Frankenstein, the monster's creator is Victor Frankenstein.

Victor Frankenstein is the main character in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly.

Not the moster as is popular belief. Victor created the moster, who remains nameless. Shelley later stated that the monsters name was Adam.

Frankenstein is a monster that was made up from the body parts and organs of the dead, by Dr. Frankenstein himself. When the monster was complete Dr. Frankenstein shouted "It's Alive! It's Alive!" when actually Frankenstein was never really alive, because if you look over the five characteristics of life Frankenstein dose not have all of them so he could never have actually been alive.

Frankenstein is the last name of the scientist who created the monster. The monster is never given a name. It can be assumed that Frankenstein is a fitting name for the monster, since he is, in a way, Victor's offspring, therefore should share his last name. However, nowhere in the novel does the monster get referred to as "Frankenstein."

Also, the "it's alive" bit is true only of the movie. In the book, Victor runs away in fear when the monster comes to life.

Victor Frankenstein was the narrator and main character of Mary Shelly's novel, Frankenstein. He was trained as a scientist and created a living man out of body parts. Things did not go well for him after that. Not to be confused with the monster-Frankenstein was the creator, not the creation.
