Frankenstein Frankenstein‚ the big green monster with bolts jutting out from its neck‚ is violent and terrifying. This is what the modern day image of Frankenstein has evolved into that has become a common Halloween costume for children and a spine shivering campfire story. But this is not how Mary Shelley pictured the monster when she wrote the novel‚ Frankenstein‚ back in 1818.
