Frankenstein- Parody

"I became nervous to a most painful degree; the fall of a leaf startled me, and I shunned my fellow creatures as if guilty of a crime." (34)

There are many different accounts of the story of Frankenstein, many of which poke fun at Mary Shelly's story. They take minor details from her story and spin their own version of the rest of the story. However, most versions of the story are somewhat based on the original version. For example, in the other version, Victor is pictured as a mad scientist, out to create a monster for the propose of being destructive. There is a connection to where this falsehood originated. Victor has a nervous breakdown after creating the monster, so technically he is mad. The former version is just a little more exciting. This most likley is the reason that the fabricated stories deviate form the original, to add excitement and make the story more easily understandable and frightening.
