To viewers, Frankenstein's monster is a green, lanky corpse, his stitched-together construction held together by two bolts on his neck, as he moans and groans inhumanly . A deeper look at Mary Shelly's actual book, Frankenstein Or, The Modern Prometheus, however, shows a much more terrifying face: something that is almost, but not quite, human. A being who, although “about eight feet tall,” still had a soul that “glowed with love and humanity” at birth, which makes his transformation into a serial killer that much more chilling (Shelly 100). The source of the Monster, and how he differs from the other characters, is what obviously creates this irreconcilable gap from the human characters. At the same time, during the writing of Frankenstein, industrialization swept through Mary Shelly's Britain. The change in society caused by industrialization can be seen in the work as a whole. Therefore it is clear that Frankenstein argues that the loss of originality in an industrialized society leads to dehumanization and alienation, as exemplified in the Fabricated Monster. The monster as a symbol of industrial products is clearly developed in the text. When the Monster speaks with his creator, Victor Frankenstein, he mentions a journal written by him, in which Victor "minutely describes in these documents every step [Victor] takes in the progress of your creation" (Shelly 130). Later, in the book's climax, after the titular doctor dies from exposure, the Monster promises narrator Walton that he will burn himself to destruction. Vow that "I will gather up my funeral pile and burn this wretched frame to ashes, that its remains may not furnish light to any curious and ungodly wretch who would create another like it... half of paper..." .to give life, something wonderful and divine, could lead to murder, suicide and hatred. Because the Monster has been transformed, industriously, into something so hated and abhorred, it calls into question industrialization itself. For people of the time, science seemed all too possible, living as they were. Maybe the shaky green man isn't too far off the mark: creating something so powerful and strange changed Victor, but how could it change society? The Monster is more than a cinematic monster, shaky but surprising: he is a deep and complex character with morality and personality, but because of his origins condemned to a life of suffering. The Monster is a warning, because as Victor's invention tells Victor "It depends on you, whether I will go away [...] and lead a harmless life, or become the scourge of your fellow men and the author of your rapid ruin" (Shelley 101).
