This version adheres to the novel much more faithfully than the movie versions do. Shelley's monster was intelligent, curious and yearning for companionship. Among other things, the Frankenstein monster symbolizes the uncontrollable monster that science can become. And, of course, the monster symbolizes all the misfits in the world—the unloved, unwanted specimens of humankind.
Since the monster does not look like the rest of us, we call him ugly and we fear him. And because we fear him, we want to destroy him. Shelley gave her monster a kind and tender heart, a love for people and a desire to be loved in return.
But he was never loved, not by one single person.
