Most Americans have some idea of ​​who Frankenstein is, as a result of many Frankenstein films and the popularity of monsters. However, most people's ideas about Mary Shelley's novel are incorrect, Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, not the monster, and the monster himself is not the inarticulate, rage-filled criminal that Robert de Niro shows in the film version of 1994 novel. Shelley's original Frankenstein was misrepresented by this film by Kenneth Branagh, most likely to send the film's audience a different message than the one Shelley's novel shows its readers. The mixed messages of technologies deserve to depend on its creator (Shelley's speech) and poetic justice, or triumph over evil (shown by the film) is best represented by the scene immediately preceding the death of Frankenstein's monster. In Shelley's novel, the final image of Frankenstein's monster reveals important qualities of his inner nature; in the last moments of his life he is shown dejected, fully aware of his guilt and firm in his decision to end his life. This is the conclusion of a long series of events that provide insight into how the monster has changed as a result of the actions of its creator and the actions of the people it came into contact with. Up until this final point, he has gone from being good and hopeful, to being gripped by the desire for a mate, to being evil and focused only on revenge. All these changes are told by the monster himself in this scene. (Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine) At one point he was motivated by many good things such as virtue and honor, so much so that he longed for a companion with whom he could share his happy life. “When I first sought it [sympathy], it was the love of virtue, the feelings of happiness and affection with which my whole being overflowed, which I wished to be shared…Once my imagination was stilled with dreams of virtue, fame and enjoyment. I was nourished with high thoughts of honor and devotion. (154) He was not an evil being at first, but rather was good by nature and exposed himself early in his life to good things. (Allen, gs) Frankenstein's and society's rejection of the monster, however, drove him on a passionate and erratic search for a mate. It forced Frankenstein to create a female monster and provided motivation by killing his loved ones and threatening him to kill others..
