Blog Prompt 2:
I think that the change of the Frankenstein monster through time is due to first movies and multimedia of the representation of the monster. Since the new age of technology and many artists that do variations of the Frankenstein monster. So one explanation to the change of representation of the Frankenstein monster is that a more popular visual become widely accepted and used as the picture of the Frankenstein monster. So for instance in many cartoons Frankenstein the monster is used, like the show Scooby-Doo. To make the monster seem less human and more of a monster like figure. Since the cartoon can use and dramatize the monster. For instance making the Frankenstein green, a color that most humans are not, makes the monster represented as something that is not human. Something that kids that are watching the show can immediately realized that this thing is classified as a monster. I realize that Scooby-Doo is definitely not the first show that made the Frankenstein monster green but I am sure many years ago some sort of media or representation changed the appearance of the it.

I agree with you how visual adaptations assisted in making the Frankenstein monster change through time. I think that Scooby-Doo was actually a good example! It reaches a wide audience and the representation of the Frankenstein monster is entirely up to the artists interpretation, as you pointed out, so it makes sense that the representation of the Frankenstein monster can have many variations.
