Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich by Adam Rex

In Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich by Adam Rex Frankenstein’s monster is displayed as a helpless victim of poor circumstances. He is shown as an isolated member of society, different, and alone. He is however human in his want of food when he finds his cupboards barren. Classically shown as an intelligent monster whose one desire is companionship, Frankenstein’s monster is shunned from society; chased off by pitch forks and torches he first ran away. However Rex’s Frankenstein soon figures out a way to turn the situation from dismal to potentially helping him. He is still a clever monster.

Boris Karloff in Frankenstein - Thomas Blackshear II

Consistent with descriptions of the monster in the novel, this depiction is disgusting. His sickly yellow skin and white cloudy, droppy eyes create the author's desired effefct. The dark, deep circles and wrinkles under and around his eyes create a sad and tired effect on his expression His mouth is in a grim, tight line seeming to curve up into a sinister smirk. His stagnant expression is altered with this interesting addition; it adds the possibility of malice to this monster's face. Since this piece of art is from a movie adaptation, it closely adheres to descriptions from Mary Shelly's novel.

Frankenstein by Iced Earth

This piece of music essentially summaraizes Victor Frankenstein's creation of the monster, framing it as a doctor's dark obsession with what life truly means.  It is composed with low notes that bask the story in shadowy tones.  The lyrics are gloomy and the singer's voice, although male, is faintly high pitched and raises the hair on your neck.  At certain intervals, a lower voice speaks; the disparity between the two is alarming, and you feel as though the two distinct voices are Victor screaming in terror and the monster growling at him.  To add more fright, there is a low drumming in the background that almost sounds like the monster's beating heart.

Simliarities
All of art, literature, and music are very different things, but in this situation they coexist and all are aiming at one thing: an individual's standpoint within society, and how they emotionally embrace it. Consistent with the standpoint of being an outcast, artists relate to Frankenstein's monster and the influence is visible in their work. Themes of loneliness, anger, frustration, and sadness are frequently seen. All centered around Frankenstein's monster, different interpretations of the creature are created. Some closely adhere to the classical description and some have been altered into a more commercialized and modern version. Frankenstein, in all versions, symbolize men's struggle of identity within us all.
