Narrator 1: In the heart of the Arctic, Captain Walton, a seasoned explorer steers his vessel towards the
enigmatic North Pole. Atop the ship, he scans the horizon with his telescope. A figure breaks free from
the blinding whiteness. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant yet tormented scientist, lies entombed in the ice.

Captain Walton: (Calling out) Ahoy! There! Can you hear me? Easy, there. Easy. Who are you?

The man opens his eyes, his gaze piercing and intense.

Victor: My name is Victor Frankenstein.

Captain Walton: Victor Frankenstein? The creator of the creature?

Frankenstein nods, his face gaunt and drawn.

Victor: I am. I have a tale to tell.

[SCENE 2]

Narrator 2: Dr. Frankenstein tells the Captain the story of his creature. At 17 years old, Victor goes to the
University. He studies the human body and hopes to create life. Victor visits graveyards to get spare body
parts. Dr. Victor Frankenstein puts the body parts together. He zaps his creation with electricity to bring
it to life.

Music: Sound of thunder Sound of thunder and lightning

Victor: (To himself) Almost there... just a few more adjustments...

[Victor places a spark of electricity into the creature's body]

Creature: (Gasps and sits up)

Victor: (Horrified) My God, what have I done?

Victor: (Recoiling in fear) Stay back! You're a monstrosity! You should never have been created!
[SCENE 3]

months. At the same time, Victor receives a sad letter from home that his brother William has been killed.
He knows that the monster has killed his brother.

Music: Sad song

[Victor receives a letter from his father informing him of the death of his younger brother, William.]

Victor: (Reading the letter) No! It can't be true!

[Victor collapses to the floor, overcome with grief.]

Henry Clerval: (Entering the room and seeing Victor's distress) Victor, what's wrong?

Victor: (Sobbing) My brother... he's dead.

Henry Clerval: I'm so sorry, Victor.

[Henry Clerval takes care of Victor for the next few months, helping him through his grief.]

INT. JUSTICE HALL - DAY

Narrator 2: JUSTINE, the maid, stands trial for the murder of William Frankenstein. She is found guilty,
even though she did not commit the crime.

Justine: (crying): "I didn't kill him! I swear! Please don’t kill me. I am innocent"

But no one believes her. She is sentenced to death.

Victor: "You monster! You killed my brother! Stay away from me! You are the source of all my suffering!"

Music: Sad song

Creature: "Suffering? How can you speak of suffering when you are the one who created me? I longed for
companionship, for acceptance, for a place in this world. But all I found was fear, hatred, and rejection. I
am good and full of love. Only suffering makes me do bad things. Everyone was horrified when they saw
me. I found a cabin where I could hide and watch the family who lived there. The family was very poor.
They were kind. I liked to help them. I learned by watching and listening to them. I was happy when I
learned how to speak. Then I could tell them how good I was. I read a book and found out how I was
created. I was very angry at my creator, Dr. Frankenstein because he made me so ugly. And when I finally
decided to talk to the family in the cabin. They got scared and attacked me. I hate myself. I hate all men.

SCENE: MUTE YOUNG WOMAN, MAN AND OLD MAN SCENE


Creature: WHEN I went to Switzerland. I saw a boy and wanted to be his friend. He was scared of me, too.
He said his father, Dr. Frankenstein, would punish me. I was so mad I strangled the boy. I took his locket
and hid it with the sleeping girl in the barn.

SCENE: MUTE WILLIAM AND JUSTINE SCENE

Creature: Doctor, if only I had a friend, I would be happy. Then I wouldn’t do these awful things!

Victor listens in disbelief, his heart softening as he hears the monster's plea for understanding.

Victor: "I will do whatever it takes to undo the harm I have caused”

Creature: "Is it possible? Can I ever find peace?"

Victor: "I believe in your capacity for good. Together, we will find a way. Promise, I will make you a bride”

[SCENE 4]

Victor: What have I done? I cannot allow this to happen. I cannot create another race of monsters.

Destroy the creature's bride.

Music: Sound of thunder Sound of thunder and lightning

loneliness that you have inflicted upon me.

FINAL SCENE

ship and tells him the whole story. Then Victor dies.

Victor: (To Captain Walton) I have traveled far and wide, Captain, searching for a creature that has
brought me nothing but sorrow. I was blinded by ambition, I thought I could conquer death, but I only
created a creature that has brought nothing but suffering to the world. I am dying, captain. Promise to
give justice to those who died.

[As Victor's life draws to a close, he entrusts Captain Walton with the task of ensuring the monster's
destruction.]

The deck of Captain Walton's ship

Captain Walton: (Confronting the monster) You have brought nothing but pain and suffering to the world.
Your reign of terror ends here.

Monster: (In a voice filled with remorse) I have done terrible things, Captain. I have caused so much pain.
I wish I could undo it all.

Captain Walton: (Witnessing the monster's genuine remorse, feels a pang of sympathy) You cannot undo
the past, monster, but you can choose to make amends.

[The monster, overwhelmed by guilt and regret, vanishes into the darkness, seeking solitude and
atonement for his sins.]
