In the novel, Victor's creation of the monster is described minimally, while films typically show an elaborate and dramatic scene. The summarizer analyzes why Shelley's version was more subdued, and how filmmakers have embellished the scene in ways that contradict or alter the tone and implications of Victor's actions in the novel.
