| Frankenstein (Franchise) | comment |
Frankenstein (full title: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus) is a science fiction novel written by Mary Shelley, originally published in 1818. Victor Frankenstein, an archetypal mad scientist who, through performing morally dubious laboratory experiments, somehow creates new life in the form of a nameless creature; which is confused and horrified by the world it was born into, leading to a furious rampage of vengeance against its creator. Death and tragedy ensue.Over 200 years later, the aforementioned creature, best known by the moniker of Frankenstein's Monster (to avoid confusion with his creator Frankenstein), has become a very iconic horror villain in the public domain, appearing in a wide variety of works of fiction.The following is a (rather incomplete) list of works based on Frankenstein, as well as the tropes usually associated with them. | |

Herr Doktor: Possibly the Trope Codifier. More the films than the novel; both because the films' version of Frankenstein is more Germanic, and because in the original novel he never got his doctorate; after the shock of seeing his creation realized, he switched to studying literature, then dropped his studies entirely to deal with the creature's vendetta against him. | |

Retcon | |
| Frankenstein (Franchise) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: Both Frankenstein and his creation, are pretty clearly killed at the end of the 1931 film, but preview screenings proved so successful, that they changed the ending to allow for Vic—er, Henry's survival, and then implying that the monster, also survived the fire under the windmill. James Whale originally refused to direct the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein, but eventually decided to invokedso he could make One More River. Knowing he could never top the original, he decided to make it "a hoot". | |

Too Dumb to Live: Vic runs away from his successful experiment in creating life because it's ugly. Then he destroys the Bride he was making for it, causing the Creature to go on a rampage. All the Creature wanted was some familial love, and then a female companion. C'mere, Vic... we need to slap some of the stupid out of you. In fairness, he destroyed the mate for fear that, unlike his first creation, it would be a monster in manner as well as looks. He's also worried that the two creations together could breed and create a race of monsters. Um... brilliant biologist and anatomist hasn't heard of tying tubes? Tubal ligations and vasectomies weren't viable with humans until the late 1800s. Castration would still be on the table... When the monster told Victor that he "would be with you on your wedding night" he took that to mean that the monster planned to kill him then, even though its modus operandi up to that point had been to target his loved ones. He prepares to confront the monster alone while leaving his new wife undefended; the monster kills her instead. | |

Blind and the Beast | |
| Frankenstein (Franchise) / int_d2fb51b5 | comment |
Blind and the Beast: The creature tries to befriend a blind man, and it works! Except the man's family returns and casts out the creature before he can explain himself. Sort of subverted in at least one version, where the blind man treats the creature politely... until his family tells him what the creature actually looks like, at which point he's horrified in spite of how nice the creature's been so far. | |

The Igor | |
| Frankenstein (Franchise) / int_e5120d | comment |
The Igor: Not from the original novel (Frankenstein didn't have an assistant in that version), but this character was actually the invention of the movie adaptations. The 1931 film's hunchbacked assistant was actually named Fritz, but Son of Frankenstein introduced Bela Lugosi's Ygor, and the rest is history. | |

Conveniently Interrupted Document: In Frankenstein: The True Story, just before Clerval and Frankenstein are prepared to animate their creation, Clerval discovers that an arm they had reanimated earlier is becoming horribly deformed. He has a heart attack and leaves a partially-completed note: "The process is re—". He intended to write "reversing", Frankenstein interpreted the note to mean "ready." | |
