Frankenstein is a novel by Mary Shelley, describing the life and actions of Victor Frankenstein, a medical student who succeeds in animating a corpse sewn together from various body parts. The creature is at first friendly, but after it is treated harshly it becomes bitter and resolves to kill its master. After Frankenstein dies of pneumonia, the creature commits suicide. Bram Stoker cited the novel as a major influence on his novel Dracula. The book was made into a film in 1931, which changed the plot and characters.
