Abstract

Since the beginning of the 20th century and even before, we have been able to contemplate different representations of the monster and his creator, Victor Frankenstein. Some of them resemble the characteristics cited in the novel and others have drunk directly from the cinema. But the issues are as follows: Who is the real monster? What are the definitive representations of these characters? We will probably never have a single image of them, but we know that they form part and will be part of our collective imaginary.
