At the beginning of the film, the creature isn’t moving on a sledge as in the book, it’s going by feet.
Victor’s mother dies by different ways: in the book it’s because of an illness and in the film giving birth to there brother William.
In the film, Victor has got only one little brother, William; and in the book an other one, called Ernest.In the two stories Victor is going to study at the university. We know the city in the film, it’s Ingolstadt, but not in the book.
Something else is Victor’s relationship with her friend Henry Clerval: in the book they’ve been friends since they were young, and in the film they don’t meet until being at the university.
In the book, Victor’s laboratory is far from the university to keep the secret, but in the film, the laboratory is next to Victor’s bedroom.Moreover, in the text Victor doesn’t receive any visit from Elizabeth, but in the film yes. She comes because she’s very worried about him.Then, in the film, the family where the creature goes to live next to consists as well of the grandchildren from the grandfather, and not so in the book. Aside from that, in the book the creature helps the family cutting firewood in the night, and in the film it collects the vegetables from their frozen field.Later, the chain that wears William when he’s murdered by the monster, has got different pictures inside. In the book it’s of Victor’s mother, but in the film it’s from Victor himself.After Justine was accused for William’s murder, in the book she first passes a trial and dies in prison, although in the film she is hung.Afterwards, in the film the creature invites Frankenstein to visit it in the mountains. There it asks Victor to create a wife for it. In the book, Victor destroys the female creature, which had the body from Justine.In the film, the monster kills Elisabeth pulling out her heart, not so in the book, where it strangles her.The film continues that the monster wanted Elizabeth’s body to be used for its wife. Finally Frankenstein gives her life again, but nevertheless the “new” Elisabeth burns herself after discovering what Victor had done with her.The end of the story is different too. In the book, we don’t know if the monster dies or not, because it disappears in the middle of the ice. On the contrary, in the film it dies voluntarily next to Victor Frankenstein, who it considers its father. I think this end is emotionally better, because it demonstrates that the creature had human feelings as well.
