Art

 


This painting of Frankenstein includes a lot of different colors and not just the green and yellow you would expect. Colors such as red, turquoise, mustard yellow and an olive green are present on his face and surroundings. There is no such thing as "coloring in the lines" on this piece for unclean paint strokes continue to be almost scribbled around his head. Frankenstein looks very serious and miserable as colorful tears fall from his eyes.

 

 

Literature

Hansel and Gretel got left on a bridge,
scary place,
chilly like a fridge,
Owls howling in the moonlight.
They're so scared,
But they see a bright light,
The ginger bread house,
In it an old witch quiet as a mouse,
As they walk up,
She walks out
Now she invites them to eat the couch
While their back is turned she grabs an axe
Now from behind their skulls are cracked
she starts chopping wack wack wack,
Into the stew their meat goes,
it is so yummy to an old raggity hoe
"A Sick And Twisted Mind In A Rhyme" by Matthew Petranovich

This poem takes an older normal story and puts a twist on it. In this story the monster is actually possible, an old woman, rather than a gruesome demon. There is a lot of rhyming and similies since it was in a poen. This is short but has underlying themes of betrayl and decievement.

Music

Promises by Nero

The lyrics of this song are more relevant to Frankenstein then the music is. ONe extremely relevant part is when it says "that you never want to leave my side, as long as I don't break these promises." This is relevant because by creating life, Victor subconciously made a promise to sustain and keep close to it. Victor, after he creates the monster, abandons it and therefore breaks his promise. He also broke his promise of being responisble for the monster after it kills William. Also, he lets Justine die which is leaving her side and not being a trustworthy man.

Similarities

Comparing these mediums, one can see the obvious similarities to Frankenstein. The art and literature both have gothic feels to them. The music has is similar to the book because it relates to Victor breaking his promises. Victor never mad spoken promises, but by creating life he was obligated to care for his creation. Even though the music is more of a modern type, if you try really hard, you can maybe see some gothic parts to it like with literature and art.
