Rewriting FrankensteinHow can your environments impact who you are and the choices you make?

Pick one of the following scenes from the play. Think about how the situation affected the Monster. Think about howif the scene unfolded differently, the Monster may have changed.

Rewrite one of the following to show how they would have impacted the Monster and his choices in life if thesituation had been different.

1. When Frankenstein sees the monster for the first time and his reaction is to run away2. When the monster is in a town, where dogs and towns people are after him3. When Felix shoots the monster4. When the monster kills William

Your scene should have between 2-4 characters. 1 or 2 of these characters may be your own characters (not fromthe play).

Your scene will have two parts:

1.

What happens to the monster (the situation)2. His choices as a result (the impact)

Which scene will you rewrite? I am going to rewrite Scene Number 3 (When Felix shoots the monster)

What is the situation in the scene? What doothers do to the Monster?

When Felix finds the monster doingsomething to Agathe he thought that themonster was hurting this blind sister andthen Agathe and Felix argued and fight

about the monster and how kind ormean he is but Felix didnt believe herand thought that he was mean and startpanic and shot the monster thinking thathe is a bad person.

How does this affect the Monster? What impact does ithave on his life? What choices does he make as a result?This affects the monster because he might think that peopledont like him the way he is and he wants to change himself nomatter what and he is also frighten and scared about whatFelix did to him. He also wants to take revenge toFrankenstein for the way he is and the way that people treat

him and he doesnt like it. The impacts on how it connects tohis life is that maybe when Felix shot him, he might havethought that people dont like me the way I am and he doesntlike the way he is and he takes revenge to the creator( Frankenstein). He also might have thought he doesnt belonghere and then might take revenge on whoever did somethingto him and then the monster might not turn out like he wantedit to be. The choices that he make as a result is that he madea wrong move on how he should change himself because it isgood the way he is and dont let others change you. If you givea chance to let the monster be himself, he might have notbeen like that and then Frankenstein should have guide the

Monster to take his own life and should have helped when thebad situation happened to the monster.

How will you change the situation? How mightthings happen differently during the scene?

When Felix comes in and sees the monster talkingto Agathe and he over reacted on how the monsteris talking but argues to Agathe and then talks to themonster on how he is struggling with his life andhow the people has treated the monster badly butdoesnt shoot him. Even though he doesnt shoot

How will this affect the Monster? What impact will it haveon his life? What choices will he make as a result?This will affect the monster on how he has been acting to thepeople and how he thinks about himself and shouldnt havechanged himself because of how the people are treating it. Itmight also affect his life on how people might treat him wellbecause of how Felix (when he thinks about the monster andmight tell others that he is a good person and he is not likeyou think he really is) has told the people in the community.


2/8

Name: Rika Date:

him he thinks that there is something strange abouthim, but doesnt tell that to the monster because heis sacred on how the monster might react to Felix.(Stage Directions : Felix wanders on the stagethinking about the monster and his life and feelssorry for him )

Also the monster might think that he think he made a goodmove on how he didnt change the way he is or the personalitybecause he can improve but not changing it fully. This impactson his life because when he didnt change he really and Felixhas helped him, the people might think that Felix might beright, the monster might actually be a great person and thinkpeople in the community might have been friends with him andget to know him better. The choices that he make as a resultis that it is a great move on how he doesnt change himselfbecause that might be scary for the people in the communityand that leads worse to the people and the people wont knowhim and actually think he is a real monster and does all thebad ruining things to the monster.

Rewrite the scene using your ideas from the purple boxes above. Your scene should:

Include A Note On Staging refer to page 6 in the Frankenstein play

o Explain the set designWell there is a small cottage and there is garden, swings and things like that but when thesituation happens between the monster and Felix, the set would be inside the cottage. (beds,table, rusty chairs, fire place)

o Explain the costumes and propsFelix: An old rusty bag, fury black thick skin coat , hunting gun, old wolf skin hat

Agathe: A basket of fruits and vegetables that she has picked out from the garden

Monster: A long, black thick coat

o Explain lighting, sound, and special effectsWhen Felix and Agathe argues , you can put lightning and dark scary noises.When Felix and Frankenstein talks there going to be birds chirping.

Include a paragraph to explainyour choices for your Note On StagingI chose this set design because when Felix and Frankenstein talks, there would be birds chirpingbecause the Monster is talking in a kind and generous way because he wants to be a generousperson. Also the props for the characters is like this because Felix is like a hunter kind a thing andhe is a kind of dangerous person but is really worried about how the Monster might act. To wrap itall up, in the real play, there is like a small cottage showing that Agathe and Felix lives there in aforest and the costumes to that, shows that Felix is like a hunting kind of person and Agathe is kindof like a generous, kind. Honest person. That also matches the lightning and things like thatbecause when the talking part happens that matches with the birds chirping because when they talkthey talk peacefully. Also the main lighting and effects is the birds chirping because the main parthappens everything is peaceful except one part but the talk between Felix and Monster.

Include descriptions of the characters refer to page 8 in the Frankenstein playo List each character and give a short (2-3 sentences) description of his/her appearance and

personality

Frankenstein Script :

Rika- Frankenstein Rewrite Script

Chapter 1Inside a simple cottage in the meadows, a rough dusty old table, a couple of rough chairs,

beautiful garden and in the garden, there are swings and in the cottage a small fire place. The

cottage is beautiful, neat and clean but very old. On the rusty old table there are some fruits in a

basket and bread to eat. There is a window in the cottage which leads to a beautiful and bright

scenery of trees, flowers and grass. In the other side of the cottage there is another door. Birds

are peacefully singing because of this beautiful place.Far away, you could hear dogs barking furiously - like baring forever. The noise is there for a

short while but in a short while the barking slowly disappears until it dies away.

Suddenly the monster is nowhere in the meadows, where the sun is going down. Dont even

know where to go and you cant even see his expression. Well, the expression might be angry

and nervous of what the dogs has done. He is wearing a heavy coat but half ripped and filled

with blood and bites. The monsters arm is torn out, bloody, torn and bitten.

The Monster finds the small cottage and just stands there wondering who would be inside. He is

nervous and scared if the people in the cottage might hurt him.

Then he sees the table with food which leads him to go there and greedy, takes the food (Apple

and Bread) but eats the Bread with one bite when he sniffs the apple, dont know what to do

with it , just puts it in his mouth because he is too hungry. His arms and feet are with torn with

blood and half of his toe is bit off.

Hearing a voice, the Monster looks surprises and freezes. He could hear a young girls voice and

a young mans voice. Looking scared, searches in the cottage and sees a back door. Quickly

hiding in the back door and shuts it behind him, before Agathe and Felix comes in.

Felix comes in with 4 dead rabbits when Agathe brings flowers in a basket

Felix : What happened to your knees ?

Agathe: What knees? (touching them ) Oh I dont know.

Monster: ARGHHHH !! (Takes the hunting gun away from Felix when he is about to shoot)

Chapter 2Felix: What are you going to do with that?

The monster takes the hunting gun and leaves it on the table and leads to the rusty table.

Monster: Come on, can we sit down and talk?

Felix: What happened to your arms and legs?

Monster : Is what the city dogs did to me .

Felix: Oh, um .

Monster: Never mind of that. I should be treated like that.

Felix: As you were saying,

They think I am a hideous monster, which I am not

Felix: Go on, is there any more things you want to talk about ?

Monster : Yes, umYou know my creator, right ?

Felix: Frankenstein?

Monster: Yes, when I was created, he thought that I could manage my own life myself, SoFrankenstein , what kind of creator does that? I just want (screams loudly) REVENGE!!!

Felix : A creator that doesnt know what he is doing. But it has, nothing got to do with

REVENGE

Monster: Yeah, I agree but why not?

Felix: Because taking REVENGE on someone is bad and when someone knows that more

people start not liking you. Wait, I cant believe peopletreat you this way.


7/8

Name: Rika Date:

Monster : Actually Felix, you did that too but never mind. I should change my personality that is

what everyone thinks I should do.

Felix:No, dont, be

you. Dont even listen to what others say. Ignore them. You are unique in your own personal

way and dont let others change you.

Monster : But why? Dont I have to do what other people say because they want to find out

that I am a good person?

Felix :No, Well improve on how you want it to be. Dont listen to others when they talk about

you. You will improve it yourself and find out that you are unique in your own individual way

and no one has to deal with that.

Monster: So you are saying that be who you are and be yourself.

Felix: (nods), yeah

Chapter 3When the Monster stands there wondering,

Agathe comes in the room after listening to all of the talking with the Monster and Felix

Agathe: Do you believe me now?

Felix: Yes, I thought he was an hideous monster first but then when I actually like settled with

him, he isnt that kind of monster that people is freaky or angry or scared about.

Agathe: Well, dont judge someone on how they look before you met them or have talked to

them, because the hideous one might be a nice one after all.

Monster: So you dont want to change who I am?

Felix and Agathe: (says together) yes!

Monster: Well, How can I do that?

Felix:Just Act like a normal human being. If a person doesnt like you or thinks you are bad, justlet them calm down a bit, so then you can actually tell that you are a good, caring and generous

person.

Monster: That would be a good idea! Thanks Felix and Agathe for helping me. I am heading

now

Agathe: To where?

Monster: Um..
