The video doesn't mention how Victor's mother dies before he goes away to school, which is his motivation to bring the dead back to life
She dies of scarlet fever that was given to her from Elizabeth
Alicia R In the 1994 movie she dies giving birth, or thats how its implied and they dont name the disease if there is one
Thanks for mentioning that, so I can know for my test tomorrow
Liv Spencer but he never specifically says that he wishes to bring the dead to life. I can only remember one line stating that farther down the line once he had completed his creation he might find a way to restore life as he had created it.
And even then he relented to say that he would have to restore animation soon thereafter, before decomposition.
So I would suffice it to say that his mothers life wasn't a concern of his efforts, rather it was but one of the pushes that led him to his creation.

right here
damn, a report on this book tomorrow. Or I can say, on this video.
me too. what happened to his mother?
That scene in the book is truly heartbreaking where after a normal conversation with the old blind man, he hears the family returning and starts panicking, then desperately and tearfully begs the old blind man to not fear or reject him. It showed how the creature just wanted to be loved and accepted by the family he's been listening to for over a year.
atmatheprophet and in an instant his view of humanity is skewed.
atmatheprophet Agree That's Super Sad :(
@@lincolnchiller1274 Or does he see humanity more accurately?
What page?
It's the monster's fault. If he did not run away from the lab he was created then Frankenstein, been calm, could've worked with him and even make another one.
"So Victor has lost everybody."
Ernest: Am I a joke to you?
its not funny when you do this over English homework
@@h1ghkd154 well yes but actually no
YEAH. FUCK, YEAH
Yess lmao😂 wtf happened to him ? They just deleted him from the stpry
he just fucking dissapears
It's just sad though how the creature is born and dies without even having a name, forgotten and loathed by all
Facts dude the ending of the book is just so depressing
I call him Sam
@@evischina I am going to call him Boris. Named after the famous actor Boris Karloff who played the monster.
I was always under the impression that he was named 'Adam' because obvious biblical references
I don’t think what’s his name, Walton in thr boat at the end loathes him . He actually reported it in his letter of his encounter
Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein was the scientist.
Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein was the monster.
Shit this was deep af
Wisdom is knowing both Frankenstein and the monster were both monsters, in their own ways, albeit different.
If that's so, wisdom must be arrogance and hypocrisy.
@@spooks7548 Thank you!
Common sense is knowing that ketchup is not to be drank
Here are some fixed mistakes and more accurate details featured in the novel that were not on this video:
-Walton writes a series of letters to his sister back home describing his journey and is the main chief narrator of the novel
-Victor Frankenstein’s mother dies from scarlet fever, and she is the one who requests Victor and Elizabeth to be married
-Victor finds out about his brother’s murder after his recovery, but he doesn’t find out until Justine’s false accusation until he gets home. It is also unclear if he actually witnessed her execution but was just driven by guilt from it
-During the Monster’s time at the De Lacey’s cottage, he sees his own reflection in a pond and is horrified by his own ugly appearance
-The Monster actually saved a young girl from drowning, not a woman, which resulted in him getting shot
-Victor actually goes to England to require more research for building a female monster and his friend Henry Clerval goes with him for his safety
-While Victor languishes after discovering Clerval was killed, his father comes to his rescue and goes home with him after being acquitted
-Victor actually had one brother who was the sole survivor, but since he is mostly a pointless character, Victor just straight up abandoning him to pursue his creation; which explains why he wasn’t mentioned here
-Right before he dies, Victor makes Walton promise to destroy the monster for him after his death, while Walton’s crew demanded him to leave the Arctic once the ice clears up
-The book ends with Walton witnessing the Monster leave the ship and travel up northernmost until he disappears in the mist to die alone
should victor have followed his first thought and told people about his creature, or is he right in his decision to stay silent?
Can I defend victor actions?
Victor fucked up
Cool bro

I couldn't help but notice that you never mentioned the mother, Caroline Frankenstein, getting the scarlet fever and dying
I had scarlet fever ofc it isnt that bad now but the medicine tasted badddd
When does she die? What time in the story. (For a report)
@@santinoruiz6946 probably too late, but it happens before victor heads off to ingolstadt to start college
Well, that just saved me from reading 250 pages
Bowtie Music me too
207 pages, actually.
Bowtie Music , there's only one Frankenstein by Mary Shelley that is 207 pages. The other books by other authors vary.
Janet Altamirano There were at least two versions written by Shelley, one in 1818 and one in 1831 (one major difference is that Elizabeth isn't a cousin in the 1831 version, but adopted from a peasant family). One version has three volumes, the other just has chapters, not separated into parts. But even with much older books where different printings feature the same text, formatting might differ slightly depending on the publisher. It would be more accurate to go by word count.
Janet Altamirano Are you shitting me? Please excuse my language, but you seem to be mildly stupid.
Yes, there is the story written by her, but it has been produced into various books of different sizes with different font types and such. Hence, the amount of pages will vary.
I like the illustrations in this video very much!
clydesight
I feel like they make the monster seem more frightening and the bad guy. He does become the bad guy later but he’s sweet in the book at first before he kills people and destroys things.
I read the book and I blame Victor for all this. The monster wouldnt be bad if he took care of him in the first place. I remember I felt so sorry for the monster when I read his story and that part when he gets shot when he did a good deed by saving the drowning girl... When he got rejected and feared by the DeLaceys even after the good things he did for them such as gathering wood for them (anonymous, but still). I hated it when Victor rejected and hated the monster, he was the "father"! He was the one who made him ugly, so why take it out on the monster? As for the monster...His actions were certainly horrible, but why be nice when the world has been cruel towards him?
Good point. But while the world can influence a person, his actions were all his own. He could've easily tried to find Victor first rather than kill his family members. I've read the book and he also is a creature capable of speech and rationalization. I also believe he shouldn't have waited so long to confront the DeLaceys a second time, because as the book said he was too hasty in his approach. He could've easily persuaded the DeLaceys to adopt him just as easy as he persuaded Frankenstein to make him a mate.
kawayo9, He was more human than monster. Humans has good sides and bad sides. He had human intelligence.
Well, he has a reason of why he created the monster. He just dreamed about how humans came to life from dead. His experiment was succeeded but it went horribly wrong. The reason why Victor lashed out from the unnamed monster because of how ugly he was. He kept his project as a secret but in the film, he showed his experiment to his whole family and saying his famous word, "It's alive! Alive!".
he
Kawayo9 Ahai. That’s like blaming a serial killers father for the serial killers murder. He shouldn’t have created him but that is no excuse for murdering people, plus the people in the cottage taught him right from wrong so he should know
Error: 305 Ummm I don’t understand the mass majority do occur that way, if your telling me every murder, every stabbing, is caused by a rough childhood? And even if we are talking about majorities whilst it would be high it wouldn’t be over 50. However, we are talking about the monster. Not human.

The creature didn't really kill William out of revenge, or at least it is unclear. He says that he grabbed William by the throat to silence him, and implies that the monster didn't realized his own strength. Ernest as a character goes unmentioned entirely, and the letters to Margaret Saville are disregarded as well. This is an okay general summary, but lacks a lot that should have been mentioned or clarified.
Finally, someone that remembers Ernest. It seemed like even Mary Shelley forgot about him. I don't think she finished his story.

A good, succinct summary. I think there's an error, though. According to the video, there's a time discrepancy regarding when William dies, between Victor's story and the creature's (5:29). However, in the book, Victor says that William died NOT the spring after he made the creature, but the following spring, roughly 18 months after he made the creature (end Chapter 6, beginning Chapter 7). Their stories do line up.
I was about to say the same thing!
They also never mention Ernest. Victor's brother in the army.

Poor creature, all he wants is someone to love him. I would be his friend! He might look scary but deep down he's just a sweet, cuddly(somewhat homicidal) bunny rabbit.
I doubt that.
Miss Monster's channel i agree, can u just imagine someone whos ugly from the outside and is diffrent from everyone in the world and ia learning about everything he sees
an 8 feet bunny rabbit who kills people. not terrifying at all.
As a woman, if I were resurrected in order to be married to him, I'd be afraid he'd kill me if I didn't behave the way he wanted me to. Domestic violence is not to be taken lightly, and this creature reeks of it. If he were put on trial and jailed for his crimes, however, I'd certainly want to visit him in jail and keep him from being lonely.
*somewhat homicidal*
i love that! i do think though that he only killed out of desperation so just an overall ugly as shit desperate sweet cuddly bunny rabbit
When you have a book report due Friday and you haven't read a single page so you desperate AF.
I only read the first few pages but just so you know, in the beginning it says that Elizabeth is his cousin, but she was actually adopted by his mother and they just call each other cousin.
There are two different versions of the book. In the original one, Elizabeth is his cousin. In the later version, she is adopted.

AP English report...ugh
I think Victor Frankenstein was the one at fault. I don't think he created the monster for no reason, but I do think he should've taken responsibility for his creation, and should've tried to help it.
he created the monster because he was very curious, and want to defeat dead.
well curiosity killed the cat
...and satisfaction brought it back
And satisfaction is notably lacking in this book
@@zethcool He created the creature because he thought he could become a god by defeating death

Inconsistencies in the story? More like inconsistencies in this summary. The creature saw William at first and wanted to have him understand him because he thought that people of such young age couldn't hold prejudice like the other humans he encountered. It was when William said my father Frankenstein will kill you after being frightened that the creature strangled the little boy. Background information is ignored as well as Ernest's presence in the novel. Other small things like this are amiss in this summary and also, the stories match. Seriously, read the book.
Late asf but he killed William when he was trying to stop him from yelling, he just wanted to silence him
It´s a 8 minute summary, the essence of the book, not an hour long video mentioning every damn detail. Seriously, watch the video.
“Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that he is.”
Yes Victor
I think victor and the creature both act monstrous tbh🕴
I've read the book three times, and listened to an audio book twice. Each time, I discover something I've missed. I have an unnatural addiction to this novel.

This is the 1st time I visited VideoSparkNotes. Most books featured on this VideoSparkNotes channel were assigned books I read in junior high & high school. It seems like ages ago & we didn't have VideoSparkNotes during my time to "aid" us. I had to read every single book & then write essays & engage in classroom discussion. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was 1 of my favorite books to read I cried at the end of the
The monster looks quite trendy in this video, like he could be in Kasabian
I thought so too.
Anyone who has to do an essay etc, what you do is watch minute book report’s 2 minute video on Frankenstein.
Then watch this video twice. 0:00
Then watch the minute book report video 5 times without break, then you have whatever you needed to know in your memory but only have to use 20 mins of your time. This worked for me.

Loved this book. It's about morality and choice; and how, since man can choose to be evil or good, we are essentially neither. Meaning, when someone says people are essentially good, because we can choose to be evil, then what they say is wrong, and no morality is essential to us, that is, not within our essences.
This is such a fascinating story that can spark a lot of intelligent a provocative conversations about the themes and characters...
And my English teacher just wanted us to study the vocabulary words... :(
oh that's an oof
oh, that's an oof
Oh my gosh this book was amazing and terribly sad
Yes I know!!!
god bless this channel
God bless nonexistence.
One of the saddest book I've read. Really heartbreaking. I feel more sorry for the being, and not Victor. I imagine what could he become if Victor didn't abandon him. He only longs for someone to accept and loved him.
The middle children are always forgotten... Poor Ernest
I disagree, I know a lot had to be left out to keep this short, but some of this is wrong. The Creation loves by natures, its through the actions of other characters that teach him how to hate. First being abandoned by his creator, the one human who could love him, then being rejected by the man in the cottage and the villagers, then seeing the love in the DeLacey family. After he becomes jealous and wants to gain their affection, Felix beats him and convinces the Creation that there is no hope for him and to hate the world; that he is a Creation of a god, yet he identifies as being one of Lucifer, not like Adam and God. Again he saves the girl and is punished for his goodness, and tries to convince the little boy to be on his side, because he believes his naiive nature will not judge the Creation for his looks. The Creation is wrong, and when the boy screams to put him down and his father's name, the Creation kills him in a rage. Even later he tries to reason with Victor, but is rejected again, and decides to kill to get his revenge. But at the end of the story, we see that the Creation is truly more human and heroic than his creator because he explains to Walton how he did not kill without having to suffer greatly himself; that the screams of Clerval and the other innocent victims of his were not music to his ears but hurt him with a pain that not even Frankenstein experienced. BTW, that was all my writing, I have an exam on this tomorrow so I figured it'd be good practice and helpful to anyone who didn't read the book:)
He killed the maid for fun though. Plus kids would do that with almost anyone, but I guess I get the rest of the killings.
I do not believe the monster killed the child in a fit off rage but rather by complete mistake the book said that the monster only wanted him to stop degrading him. in the heat of it all he knew not of his strength and gripped tighter out of emotional distress as many cletch their fists. I don't know haha but that's my opinion I hope someone can elaborate on this event!!! yes he celebrated after the fact but I don't think he meant to kill him apon the first mention of frankensteins name. just my opinion!!!
+emanuel emanuel I agree, the book says: "The child still struggled and loaded me with epithets
which carried despair to my heart; I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet."
This would suggest that he was so hurt/annoyed by the child's words that he tried to keep him from talking, and not knowing his own strength, choked him.

Readers tend to see the monster as worse? Have you even read the book?? The creature is more sympathetic than victor by far
The most helpful video on RUclips I’ve seen
depends on which edition of the book you might have read. In the 1818 edition, Elizabeth was his cousin, who was taken in by the Frankesteins and raised as one of their own. She was adopted in the 1831 ed.
Why were there two versions so closely made to eachother?
Somthing doesn't add up in the original story victor frankenstein had two younger younger brothers William and Ernest while in this story only William is mentioned of course we know what happened to him but Ernest fate is unknown its possible he was sent and taken away where the monster wouldn't kill him and he was the last surviving member of the Frankenstein family
Brian Phelan I think it is mentioned in the book that Earnest dies of the same disease that his mother died of while Victor is at University, before he even starts creation of the creature
Never heared of that I've read the original version Frankenstein and there was no telling he had twin brother and that must be a anther version of the book
Doesn't seem possible that Ernest died of his mothers illness because in the book when Victor learns about Williams death when he comes home the first person he sees is Ernest and they sob together until the rest of family comes to greet Victor
So how exactly did Victor bring the Monster to life in the story?
***** thanks for the info. I'm definitely going to check it out.
Y’all who didn’t read this book for your assignment, you should read it some time. There are some great lines delivered by the monster, and some insights that aren’t covered in summaries. That and it’s a cool book and takes like, a week, tops, to read
Thanks for summerizing the whole book! You just saved me 3 hrs of my life, and a test with it tmr!
The effort i put into my schoolwork has reached an all time low.
Yea I would recommend you guys read the actual story first and then watch this video. I did it this way and it wraps up my experience in a very satisfying way. ^^
I'm just gonna let you know they leave out some important background information... So don't rely on this, but watch it before you read the book it helps.
the stories match! he stayed with henry and studied all summer, then went home the NEXT spring
Wait... what about Ernest? Why did they leave him out of this whole thing?
haha i know right i was thinking the same thing
Let's be honest, Mary Shelley practically omitted Ernest himself.
Poor guy 😔
I am actually here because our teacher gave us four days to read this book but being in junior highschool and all the teachers giving hefty notes which you have to do didn't give me time to finish it at all. I have only read about half of it and tomorrow we are having a discussion on this book. I really wanted to finish it by reading since it is very interesting tale.I guess I will read it later.
"Don't leave, I was going to make espresso!"
The illustrations are really good.
I love the illustrations wish you would make a short film.
I find it both funny and sad that a huge chunk of the comments are from students who apparently don’t know how to read.
I never thought of the creature as evil.
He wasn't given any of the fruits of his labors and instead was beaten time and time again. He came to terms with his wicked deeds and acknowledged them as such.
Once Frankenstein had dashed his hope and vengeance was sworn though, he couldn't return to his old countenance. He had given himself an ambition and binding a resolve to that ambition pushed him onward.
He fell down a pit of despair of which he couldn't escape and sought only to dwell on the emotions which he so ardently needed to distract him from his grief and "wretchedness"
At least this are my two cents.
My favorite Notes on Google and my fav tutor on You Tube Channel ❤
Elizabeth wasnt his cousin, it was his adopted sister xD
+Samuel Picard okay thank you!
Riven actually she was his cousin, that the family adopted, and she became like a sister to Frankenstein
yeah pinksoldier is right
It changes with the edition of the book
I don't know if anyone's commented this yet, but there is no difference in time between the creature's story and Victor's. Victor stays in Ingolstadt for another year with Henry Clerval after his recovery. They were studying the Oriental languages together, if you recall. The narration passes very briefly over this time, so the creator of this video may well have overlooked it, but you'll find its existence in the fifth paragraph from the end of Chapter 6. Good luck to everyone studying this book for a school assignment! :)
elisabeth wasnt his cousin lmao she was adopted
There were two versions of Frankenstein, each version having slightly different details than the other. One version said Elizabeth was a cousin, while the other said she was adopted.
Cousin was not just a word used to donote familial connection, it was also a term used to imply closeness and affection. In much the same way as some cultures call non relatives who are elders 'mother', 'father' or 'auntie'.
Lmao, I'm so screwed for my finals
Exam tomorrow, wish me luck
3 years late
Zenen Treadwell how did you do
I love how Ernest isn't even mentioned
I know right? This should be a tragedy about him too, since noone cares to mention him or refer to him after like the prologue :D.
Who's Ernest?
Victor's brother who goes to the army if I'm not mistaken
Thank You So Much. This helps alot!
Read the book a few months ago and loved it! It was so well written. As far as who is the blame in the book, I would say that Victor is…for creating the monster in the first place. But I still liked his character and in the end before he dies, he actually confesses that he feels guilty for what he has done. Pretty tragic actually.
The lesson: just adopt your freaking 8ft tall zombie son instead of abandoning him
I would highly recommend this book! Try reading it sometime after the class is done
The first science fiction novel. And Mary Shelley was only 18 when she wrote it. That would have made Mary Shelley the first nerd queen.
I don't care if you're watching this for some exam because you couldn't be bothered to do your homework. This is a very important novel and story, far more interesting than the green-skinned, plugs in the neck, modern version of the Frankenstein's Monster. It's also arguably the very first science fiction novel (or first significant one). I find it unfortunate if you can't appreciate the book itself, even if you don't really find the story itself entertaining.

Moral of the story: Dont play God
Basically the whole story, a mass homicide
or if you have children raise them
If you do play God there can be some VERY nasty consequences.
*sad smile* 'Nothing the God of bio-mechanics won't let you in Heaven for...'
*kisses God gently*
*crushes 'God's' eyes out while he screams in agony and an owl watches impassively*
Don't be an irresponsable little asshole*
Play with gods testicles
@Marmonery I'd agree they didn't mention Ernest, though he was a minor character at best, but the monster does say he would burn himself to ashes, so that they "would be swept into the sea by the winds."
Deeper and Profound story with Richest Themes. Definitely one of my Favorites Stories.
I know it's stupid to think like this, but when I read the book, I desperately wished that I could have inserted myself into the book and give the creature that love that he needed.
Hey you! Yeah you,
I know your here because you got a book report and you havent read even a single part of it
This made me understand in Frankenstein
All my life I was taught Frankenstein was a horror story, but now that I understand it, I now know that it's about judging people based on their appearance, accepting difference, and a quest of revenge
i have a summative on this in half an hour, this video helped so much
Victor still has his brother Ernest, and there's also an inconsistency with the De Laceys; Felix fell in love with Safie and the Turk promised Felix that Safie would marry him. But the Turk went back on his promise since he didn't want his daughter to marry a Christian. These points aren't critical to the story, but it may help someone who's here for an essay or report. Other than that, you managed to hit a lot of the critical points. Great job!
7:43 He never said he was going to set himself on fire, just that he was going to go end his life because he didn't want to feel pain and anguish anymore.
5:08 the monster isn't shot for saving a drowning woman. Even though he saved the woman, when the man and woman see the monster they run. The monster then runs after them, then he is shot.
I just finished reading the book and you left out the part where Victor has another, and more sickly, younger brother named Ernest. Strangely enough, it's like the author herself completely forgets about Ernest after Victor returns home with the ill news of Elizabeth's death and we never find out what happens to him afterwards. 🤔
Igor became so iconic as a character from several film adaptations but he wasnt in the original story haha (and in one version he was actually names Fritz!)
That saved a lot of reading and research!! YAY!
***** no actually i had one night to do it and it was late after i had done the rest of my homework so i needed to know the basic storyline, if i had longer i would have read the book! and fyi i have read the book since and it is really good
so no shame on me thank you very much!!
Lexie White agree
I wish every book was as short as this video. All the time I could save....
Thank you for the nice video.. There's a small note, victor didn't lose everyone.. he still have a brother named Ernest which you completely forget to tell about him
There should really be more videos from this channel
The moral/question of the story: who’s the REAL monster here?
I think frankentein because thanks to his misdeeds, it causes the monster to be evil and cause a bunch of murders
5:15 no he wishes to raise the boy, as he thought the boy might be free of prejudice.
Though his search for companionship was cut off by the boys cries and threats.
I may not only be 16 but my memory isn't bad enough to let this detail slip. Though I harbor no prejudice towards you as I know not anything about you, so take this not as an attack upon you.
There's no inconsistency; Frankenstein studied oriental culture at Ingolstadt with Henry Clerval after the Winter during which he was sick. He heard about William's death in the Winter after that.
This is definitely the best book I've every read. Despite Ernest Frankenstein being forgotten. Read the book.
I just read this book, and it is now one of my favourites. I’m looking for different people’s interpretations of the book (I’m always curious to hear other perspectives). Anyway I feel like the monster was basically a victim to his life, and I wish someone had given him some love and validation before the Murders happened
In the preface the letters are between walton and his sister, (or some other female relative) during these letters walton tells his sister of Victors stroy
This is a good book I read it in 8 minutes, thanks sparknotes, now onto the essay.
It's actually a story within a story within a story at one point (Walton is narrating Frankenstein who is narrating the Monster's narration).
This is really good! Thank you, now I understand the novel much better than before
I feel so bad for that monster he's more than like human
