Many monsters in Victorian British novels were intimately connected
with the protagonists, and representative of both the personal
failings of a character and the failings of the society in which he
or she lived. By contrast, more recent film adaptations of these
novels depict the creatures as arbitrarily engaging in senseless
violence, and suggest a modern fear of the uncontrollable. This
work analyzes the dichotomy through examinations of Shelley's
Frankenstein, Stoker's Dracula, H. Rider Haggard's She, Stevenson's
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Wells's The Island of
Dr. Moreau, and consideration of the 20th century film adaptations
of the works.
