Rewriting Frankenstein

Pick one of the following scenes from the play. Think about how the situation affected the Monster. Think about how if the scene unfolded differently, the Monster may have changed. Rewrite one of the following to show how they would have impacted the Monster and his choices in life if the situation had been different. 1. 2. 3. 4. When Frankenstein sees the monster for the first time and his reaction is to run away When the monster is in a town, where dogs and towns people are after him When Felix shoots the monster When the monster kills William

Your scene should have between 2-4 characters. 1 or 2 of these characters may be your own characters (not from the play). Your scene will have two parts: 1. What happens to the monster (the situation) 2. His choices as a result (the impact) Which scene will you rewrite? What is the situation in the scene? What do others do to the Monster? I am going to rewrite the scene where Frankenstein sees the monster for the first time and his reaction is to run away

How does this affect the Monster? What impact does it have on his life? What choices does he make as a result? It affect the monster because the monster is kind of the mood where everything is new and a person just run away because he woke up

How will you change the situation? How might things happen differently during the scene? Frankenstein will come back before the monster go out to the village and put him in a cage and try to teach him how to learn to talk. Also Frankenstein is going to make a ugly person contest and make the monster go out and show his face.

How will this affect the Monster? What impact will it have on his life? What choices will he make as a result? I think that it will affect the monsters behavior because since everyone know him as the ugliest person in the village the monster will feel the same pain and do the same thing but before that Frankenstein will put him in a cage.

I have chosen this scene because I wanted to show how the Monster feels when he get trapped in the cage. Also it would show the angry face of the Monster and that Frankenstein is there to help the monster and to make the monster very friendly.

Characters
Monster: Everything is very new and a fast learner Frankenstein: Like to create a lot of impossible things Villager 1: A selfish man who thinks about himself Servant: a pretty girl who is working in Frankensteins lab Christopher: a boy that is the ugliest person in the village
