The Movie ' The Bride Of Frankenstein ' And Mad Love Directed By Karl Freund

The plots are quite similar in both plays, both the film and the play tell a story about a man who meets 3 people, in the

Through psychoanalysis of the character Victor Frankenstein, it is clear that Victor exhibits latent homosexual tendencies. This is not to say the protagonist engages in the creation of the creature simply as an outlet for his sexual inclinations. Rather, his desire to procreate through means other than common human reproduction suggests his desire for legacy, but his aversion to the opposite sex. Victor’s latent homosexuality explains why he destroys the female creature, delays his marriage with Elizabeth, and spends his honeymoon looking for the creature. Victor chooses to suppress his homosexuality because of strict punishments for this sexual orientation in the Victorian Era.

Many romantic films do not have fairy tale stories or happy endings, although love serves as a shield against the harshness of the real world. Romantic films often elaborate the main theme of love at first sight. Romanticism refers back to the romantic characters of the Middle Ages and also modern films. Romantic love on film is a universal human experience that produces intensely powerful, strong feelings. Romantic Literature has had a strong influence on modern day films through pathos, folklore, and love.

In classical Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, “Child’s identification with the same sex parent is the successful resolution of the Oedipus complex; key psychological experiences that are necessary for the development of a mature sexual role and identity” (Bullock 705). In Frankenstein, Oedipus complex makes Frankenstein have pains and joys, affecting his character and fate. In the following discussion is divided into two parts: first, the desire of Victor Frankenstein to his mother, followed by his rivalry toward his father.

The play A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare and the film The Princess Bride directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner share unlikely literary parallels. As Catherine Belsy states in an essay “A Midsummer Night’s dream…proposes that love is a dream, or perhaps a vision; that is absurd, irrational a delusion, or, perhaps, on the other hand, a transfiguration; that it is doomed to be momentary, and that it constitutes at the same time the proper foundation for a lifelong marriage” (A Modern Prospective 182). The Princess Bride the movie is an encapsulation of the main themes of true love and the fantastical elements that surround it. The Princess Bride the story the young boy’s grandfather tells him is simply a storybook, like a fairytale

Both the films have one thing common which is their genre. Both the films are based on romantic-comedy American film. Another thing which is common between them is the duration of their films. Both the films have approximately duration of one and half hour plus fifteen minutes. The films are based on the romantic theme but followed by a little comedy touch that can attract the viewers and can attain their attention. Both the films were a huge success of their times due to their best chemistry of the main leading characters and also by the good mixture of the comedy and romantic aspects of the filmography.

Overall they both share a theme of expressing feelings and speaking truthfully. Neither characters held anything back and just let their emotions

Every story has its hero and villain. Some authors’ works easily clarify the debate between which character is the ultimate protagonist or the antagonist, but sometimes the author tries to toy with readers’ minds. Similarly, Frankenstein’s author, Marry Shelley is one of the authors who is not straightforward about who is the villain in her novel. In Frankenstein, both the Monster and Victor Frankenstein could be considered the villains in the book. Doctor Victor Frankenstein is an alchemist who is obsessed with creating life from the dead. He creates the green creature, also given the name Frankenstein, who is portrayed as the Monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein’s complete disregard for mortal beings, obsession with becoming a God, and his self-centeredness throughout the novel are all good evidence to why he – Dr. Victor Frankenstein plays the role of the villain in the story.

The clearest similarity is the feud between the two families. The classic story of Romeo and Juliet revolves around the two young lovers who struggle to stay together, because of the feud between their families. The two’s families have been in a feud for years, Romeo belongs to the Montague family and Juliet belongs to the Capulet family, and both families despise each other. Since the families hate each other so much Romeo and Juliet, or Gnomeo and Juliet, are forced to hide their love. In both the movie Gnomeo and Juliet and Romeo and Juliet the main characters are forced to hide their love due to the two families’ feud. In the movie

The great thing about the movie is that there are so many types of love that appear throughout,

The two movies that are similar and have the same type of genre, dealing with relationships are “10 Things I Hate About You” and “The Taming of the Shrew”. These movies are the same, yet so different from one another. Both plots are about love and relationships, that’s why “10 Things I Hate About You” is based on the same concept as “The Taming of the Shrew”. One of the main differences is the time period, throughout the year’s lot of views on things start to change. The idea of marriage and relationships are very different from back then to today.

Throughout history, the media has shown many different sides of love. Weather it be peaceful, violent, dangerous, beautiful, almost all forms of the media have shown love in some way. In the novel The Great Gatsby, love is shown between many different characters in different ways. The reader experiences love at its best and worst.

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein the critical essay “Lesbian Panic and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” (“Lesbian Panic”) by Frann Michel approaches Frankenstein from a gender perspective and applies Adrienne Rich’s lesbian continuum, the “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence” where female relationships, mother-daughter/sisters/female friendships which all fall under the umbrella of lesbian relations, to the relationships that are present in Frankenstein. Frann Michel clarifies through her essay that any work of literature that takes a critical point of view of heterosexual relationships is, in fact, a lesbian text. Michel states that in Frankenstein the motion of lesbian panic is prevalent because lesbian desire is avoided at all costs – during the 1800’s society was rampant with panic, or phobia, amongst those who were afraid of potential sexual desires with one another. Lesbians were considered “Sapphic monstrosities” (Michel 351). In placing female characteristics on all characters in the novel Michel argues, in “Reading Mothers and Lovers”, that Victor Frankenstein’s “maternal anxiety” and his creature’s unfulfilled desire for a female is a doubling of them reflecting with their female counterparts under the lesbian continuum (Michel 355). In “Difference and Desire” Michel claims that Justine and Elizabeth’s tender moments at the end of Justine’s life comes to an end as a result of her unjust confinement and murder. The creature created by Victor is henceforth the

In addition, romantic comedies also give the wrong impression on relationships. If viewers are getting the wrong idea about love itself, then that leads them into expecting more out of relationships as well. “Almost every romantic movie is generally targeted toward women and has the same basic format: Boy meets girl, mutual feelings develop, conflicts arise and are overcome. Then, the story concludes with a happy ending as the two characters live happily ever after together” (Hefner). The article “Contradictory Messages: A Content Analysis of Hollywood-Produced Romantic Comedy Feature Films”, written by Kimberly Johnson and Bjarne Holmes, explains a study that they had conducted together. Their study analyzed the romantic content of a sample of 40 romantic comedy
