The Frankenpheme in Popular Culture : Fiction, Drama, Film, Television 丁延珩

Frankenpheme Timothy Morton phonemes + graphemes elements of culture that are derived from “Frankenstein” retellings and parodies popular fiction, drama, film, and television

Speech in parliament by George Canning ……In dealing with the negro, Sir, we must remember that we are dealing with a being possessing the form and strength of a man, but the intellect only of a child…… ……would be to raise up a creature resembling the splendid fiction of a recent romance; the hero of which constructs a human form, with all the corporeal capabilities of man, and with the thews and sinews of a giant……

being unable to impart to the work of his hands a perception of right and wrong, he finds too late that he has only created a more than mortal power of doing mischief, and himself recoils from the monster which he has made.

“The Greatest Horror Story Novel Ever Written” : Frankenstein’s Fictions The Frankenstein Omnibus ed. Peter Haining “The Bell-Tower” by Herman Melville “The Future Eve” (“Tomorrow’s Eve” / “The Eve of the Future”) by Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam “The Surgeon’s Experiment” by W. C. Morrow “A Thousand Deaths” by Jack London “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakov “The Memories of Elizabeth Frankenstein” by Theodore Roszak “Demons of the Film Colony”

“The Reanimator” by H. P. Lovecraft - According to his letters, Lovecraft wrote the story as a parody of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. He drops in numerous Frankenstein references (even hinting at the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as Shelley did) and purposely makes scenes overly violent, gruesome, and clichéd. - Herbert West - zombies

Frankenstein on the Stage Creature : more horrific Victor : less blame melodramatic eliminate minor characters and the entire frame structure murder, mayhem A few key scenes are used : the creation scene, the bridal night, the destruction of the Creature

parodies - Frankenstitch : Needle Prometheus - Franke-n-steam The Devil Among the Players The Man in the Moon “Frankenstein and His Bride” The Rocky Horror Show - long-running British stage musical - Frank-N-Furter - planet of Transsexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania

Film Adaptations Frankenstein (1931) - most famous of all adaptations - the placing of a criminal brain into the monster’s body James Whale Boris Karloff the changes Whale made to the story have stuck - Henry Frankenstein - Fritz (assistant)

criminal brain heredity > environment, economic systems, and education pseudoscience -> eugenic compulsory sterilization laws

Bride of Frankenstein (1935) This one tends toward comedy, parody, and satire rather than pure horror marriage & gay subtext Creature : an innocent victim
