    In the novel, Victor Frankenstein spends months collecting body parts from various sources and carefully assembling and animating the creature through scientific experiments. On the other hand, some movies often depict a more simplified and expedited creation process, sometimes involving electricity or lightning, which is not present in the original novel.


3. The Creature's Appearance: 

     In the novel, the Creature is described as grotesque and inhuman, with yellowish skin, watery eyes, and black lips. Movie adaptations often portray the Creature differently, sometimes making it more sympathetic or visually appealing.

    The novel delves into the psychology and emotions of characters like Victor Frankenstein and the Creature in greater detail than most movies, providing a deeper understanding of their motivations and moral dilemmas.

     Some movie adaptations may modernize or change the time period and setting, whereas the novel is set in the 18th century in Europe.

      The novel contains subplots and characters not always present in movie adaptations, such as Victor's family, his travels, and the exploration of philosophical themes.

7. Victor's Motivation: 


   The novel emphasizes Victor's pursuit of knowledge and ambition as driving forces behind creating the Creature, whereas movies sometimes simplify his motivation.

8. The Creature's Abilities:

   Movie adaptations may exaggerate the Creature's strength, speed, and abilities, making it more of a traditional movie monster.
