The Bride of Frankenstein (James Whale, 1935)

Points to Consider Does this film create sympathy for the monster? If so, how? Does the film suggest comparisons between the monster and other figures, from folklore, mythology, literature, and contemporary life? How “normal” are the “non-monsters,” such as Henry, Pretorius, Elizabeth, and the secondary figures? How sympathetic?

More Points to Consider Do you find the film to be humorous? What sorts of comedy does the film employ? How does the humor function within the film? Does it seem simply “tacked on,” or does it help develop theme or character?

Additional Points of Interest Note the “Classic Horror Movie” website for descriptions, cast lists, images, storyboards, chronologies, and video clips from old horror films, located at Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein (1974) is a terrific parody of the Universal Frankenstein pictures and contains some of the original sets.

Additional Points of Interest The 1998 film Gods and Monsters, directed by Bill Condon, examines the last days of James Whale. In Condon’s film, Whale’s feelings of loneliness and freakishness are poignantly paralleled by those of the Frankenstein monster in Whale’s classic Universal picture.
