When Frankenstein, a young idealist Genevan student of natural philosophy at the University of Ingolstadt, stumbled into the secret of infusing life into matter, and created a living thing out of an assemblage of bones from charnel houses, little did he think about the consequences. Ironically, his strong and big creation, initially gentle and capable of tender emotions — a reader of Goethe, Plutarch, Milton — stirs nothing but fear and loathing in people, thanks to his hideous appearance. In the want of a female counterpart, which Frankenstein refuses to give, his emotional needs remain unfulfilled. The pain of being ostracized, the necessity of being perpetually on the run and seeking cover make him bitter. What will he do now in his loneliness, frustration and the resultant anger against his creator? Can Frankenstein control his creation any more? Who will destroy whom in the chain of Gothic horror sequences that follow?
