This look influenced the popular-culture a ton. You can see a mad scientist flipping an electric lever in a ton of movies, stories, and games. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239472569 2018-03-08 01:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239472569 In the game Fable II is a role-playing game, with an action focus but with tons of objectives. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239473049 2018-03-08 01:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239473049 In the game, there is a character named Victor, that is trying to reanimate a dead corpse. Upon completion of the quest, and buying the house Victor is in, an area is discovered referencing the author Mary Shelly. (Shelly's Tomb) averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239473668 2018-03-08 01:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239473668 In a more abstract relation, in the game Realm of the Mad God, there is a mad scientist called Dr. Terrible. He wears the white lab coat, has a gaunt look, and some crazy hair. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239475202 2018-03-08 01:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239475202 In the Sonic Series, there is a scientist with a background similar to Victor Frankenstein's also. He's no main character, but he's within the lore of the plot of Sonic. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239477171 2018-03-08 01:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239477171 Gerald Robotnik is the main antagonist's grandfather. This is where Dr. Eggman got his knowledge. He is influenced by the mad-scientist role, also with a project similar to Frankenstein. Instead of reanimating the dead, he wanted to create an immortal. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239477617 2018-03-08 02:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239477617 Rime of the Ancient Mariner : Frankenstein averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239478155
]]> 2018-03-08 02:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239478155 These 2 stories are similar, because Frankenstein was influenced by Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Mary Shelley read Rime of the Ancient Mariner while she was in the process of writing the book. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239486977 2018-03-08 02:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239486977 Mary Shelley was extremely influenced. Each story followed the same pattern and had a similar writing style. The albratross was similar to Frankenstein. Both were thought to be a symbol of goodness, but both resulted in havoc. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239487735 2018-03-08 03:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239487735 Both books refer to nature in a way that it shouldn't be tampered with. When the Mariner kills the albatross, a chain of gruesome events occur. A similar path happens with Frankenstein. The albatross is a bird of nature, while Frankenstein was the nature of the human body: things that pass should stay deceased. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239488405 2018-03-08 03:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239488405 Each of the main characters are also punished for their acts against nature. Victor has his family murdered, while the Mariner has to retell his story for all eternity. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239488997 2018-03-08 03:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239488997 To a lesser extreme of Frankenstein, the cartoon, Phineas and Ferb was influenced by Frankenstein's mad scientist archetype. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239490234 2018-03-08 03:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239490234 Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, is a crazy scientist obsessed with trying to destroy the world. He has the similar look of Victor. Gaunt face, a tired, and wild look. He is influenced by the archetype, but being less extreme of reanimation. He instead messes with nature on a global scale. With each attempt to destroy things, he is thwarted by a platypus. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239490952 2018-03-08 03:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239490952 He is related to Victor in a mild manner. He is extremely intelligent, very vain, and only cares about his science and nothing else. He doesn't worry about problems that will arise with the things he does, he is set on one main goal. Similar to Victor, and reanimation. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239491466 2018-03-08 03:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239491466 Herbet West: Renimator : Frankenstein averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239492016 2018-03-08 03:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239492016 Paradise Lost : Frankenstein averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239492172 2018-03-08 03:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239492172 The story is extremely similar to Frankenstein. Both characters are deeply obsessed with the science of reanimation, incredibly intelligent with arrogance, and punished by their creations. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239492726 2018-03-08 03:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239492726 Herbert west had a keen ability with science. It also played with a reasonable way of reanimation. When this book was published, electricity only caused muscle spasms not reanimation. Lovecraft went with a rational idea of a serum reviving a corpse. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239493193 2018-03-08 03:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239493193 Prometheus Myth : Frankenstein averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239494263 2018-03-08 03:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239494263 Paradise Lost influenced Frankenstein in the nature aspect. Also with the aspect of the monster's journey averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239495731 2018-03-08 03:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239495731 Paradise Lost and Frankenstein are directly related. Frankenstein reads Paradise Lost during the book, and relates to Satan, and Adam. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239499361 2018-03-08 04:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239499361 Frankenstein relates to Satan, because no one wants him, even his father God abandoned him. He then relates to Adam, because he is alone and feeling guilty since Eve dies. Frankenstein relates his problems to Paradise Lost, while gaining intelligence. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239499496 2018-03-08 04:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239499496 The Prometheus Myth relates to Frankenstein because of the main characters. Both Prometheus, and Victor are fascinated with lightning. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239500348 2018-03-08 04:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239500348 Victor and Prometheus both use lightning in their own ways to help their sense of worth. They are both severely punished after using lightning for their own doings too. averysteele9 https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239500743 2018-03-08 04:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/averysteele9/hgt1yld37wjd/wish/239500743
