In order for Mel Brooks to make Frederick Frankenstein Victor Frankenstein 's grand son seem realistic, he placed the Young Frankenstein story in the 20 th century.
There were also differences in the clothing and technology due to the time lapse Mel Brooks created. Also, because of the time passing, Frankenstein does not meet his best friend Henry, and there is also no no Walton. In fact, there is no narrator present in that film at all. There a few similarities that are apparent in the film as well. These include Fredrick Frankenstein 's fiance has the name Elizabeth, ass did Victor 's did in the novel, but they are not cousins.
The fact that both Frederick and Victor were both indeed in love with the girls with same name and that they both had a passion for the raising of the dead went along with one of the themes of
