Comparison to the movie

"About this time we retired to our house at Belrive."  This was the part in the novel when Victor went on a journey after Justine's death.  Victor went on many journeys by himself.  He would be alone very often because he was very afraid of the creature and basically in a state of depression.  However, when he was alone, he would often drive himself mad.  In the movies, the creature is portrayed as a huge monster who wants to hurt everything in sight.  However, in the novel, the readers get to experience how the creature actually felt.  Many, as I have, feel sorry for the creature because of how alone and miserable he felt.  Also, in the movies, they do not show how the creature was very kind at first and just wanted to have a friend.  In the story, he actually saved a girl's life, but then was shot for it.  However, in the movies, he just was displayed as this evil, horrible creature.  I think that they did not base the movie off of the book because there was no happy ending what so ever, and Victor went on so many journeys, which would be hard to show in the movies.
