The novel Frankenstein emerged from an informal storytelling contest among Mary Shelley and her husband and friends. Originally,
finlep [7]

There are are many books, media, movies that represent Frankenstein's story but the one that I like the most is Edward Scissorhands because it depicts American society and it portrays a humorous tone at the beginning of the story at least and it doesn't finish so sadly as Shelley's original novel although Edward Scissorhands has some drama at the end . The creator of Edward Scissorhands doesn't appear in the movie in contrast of Shelley's character in which the relationship between the creator and the monster is very problematic. People react differently to the monster. In Shelley's story the monster in never accepted and in Edward Scissorhands, he is accepted as the new thing in town at the beginning of the story.

1.-The form of media: It is a movie.

2.-The story is presented humorously at the beginning and dramatically at the end.

3.-The tone in Shelley's novel is mostly dramatic while in Edward Scissorhands is humorous at the beginning and dramatic at the end.
