Shakespeare’s pre-Gothic Jacobean tragedy‚ ’Macbeth’‚ first performed in 1606 is one that demonstrates the psychological deterioration of the central characters. In Macbeth’s case‚ ambition is broken by guilt - and guilt is overwhelmed by brutal ambition.

The films all tend to downplay what a "monster" Victor is and instead stress how much of a monster the Creature is. The films seem to stress less on the responsibility and guilt that Victor feels over
