I decided to read "Frankenstein" after finding it in the local library. I only knew that it has a monster and had tons of media made about it. It was nothing like I expected it to be. I expected a generic story about an experiment going wrong.
How in the ass did the monster go from a creature that is able to learn reading and writing in a matter of weeks and understand classical literature, to a moronic zombie that's out for blood. The movies are to blame for this but how did we get THIS far from the original character?

Because I expect the first director who adapted this book was sleeping when the writer explained to him about the Frankenstein story.

If I remember correctly, Mary Shelley wrote this when she was still a teenager

Yes, and it was for a competition of sorts. Sort of like a game jam today, but for writers.
