Inside the story
Meet The Creature
The Creature is a living being brought to life through Victor Frankenstein’s scientific experiments. Highly intelligent and sensitive, he begins his existence as Victor’s creation, facing profound loneliness and rejection from the society around him.
On the page
A gaunt, towering figure of about eight feet, wretched rather than monstrous, FULLY CLOTHED in ill-fitting salvaged peasant clothes — a coarse dark coat too short at the wrist, rough shirt, no bare chest. His face is haggard and sorrowful: sallow, sickly skin drawn tight over the bone, long lank black hair, thin dark lips, and pale watery eyes set in shadowed sockets. Stooped, weary, deeply sad. Muted, subdued colouring. NOT handsome, NOT stylised, NOT glamorous, no bright yellow, no bare skin.
