compassion. Almond highlights some thoughts from a number of critics that might explain Mary’s
motivation in writing such a ghastly story; for example, “a feminist critic, Anne Mellor, contends that

the man who created him. This results in lots of rage towards Frankenstein but at the end of the film

beauty of the cottagers greatly endeared them to me: when they were unhappy, I felt depressed;

it down. When his secrecy to create the monster was discovered, he referred to Krempe, a model
scientist, as “an uncouth man, but deeply imbued in the secrets of his science” (Shelley 38). Also this
example of animal like imagery makes him sound like he’ so low will also create that extra bit of
sympathy towards the creature. The narrative is only explained through the story that almost presents
itself during the film. Not only was Mary Shelly influenced by the poets around her but by classic
Greek mythology and in particular the tale of Prometheus.
