Write a 2 page essay on Bride of Frankenstein by James Whale.

However, in spite of all these furious actions by the monster, several critics of the film find the monster to be a sympathetic figure and a reflective analysis of the character proves that the monster incorporates compassionate elements along with the apparent condemnable features.

Bride of Frankenstein,

unlike the original Frankenstein movie, depicts the story of the Shelley novel almost exactly and the monster in this film version has a compassionate appearance. "While in Frankenstein he was a murderous vengeful creature, the sequel presents a Monster the audience can sympathise with, thus bringing him much closer to Mary Shelley's original concept In one of them the Monster saves a girl from drowning and is 'rewarded' with being shot in the arm." (Bride of Frankenstein) There is a view that the monster does not deserve the kind of treatment it gets at the hands of the critics as there is nothing unnatural about the character.
