| abstract | - Henry Frankenstein (1789-past 1818) is the main character of famous horror film "Frankenstein" (1931). Henry was a young student in Goldstat Medical College, where he studied on Doctor Waldman's faculty in the late 1800s. Frankenstein learnt a great deal about natural sciences from Waldman, and soon became obsessed with creating artifical life. Henry had fantastic results in his experiments in galvanism and electrobiology, but for completing them he required more materials aka organs and body parts. Because college was unable to provide them Frankenstein left it, and built his own labaratory in an old watchtower near the forests of his native Frankenstein Village. As an assistant he took a crippled hunchback Fitz, with whom he started to rob fresh graves and take corpses from the gallows. Soon Frankenstein and Fritz prepare lab's machinery and artifical body for the great experiment. On a dark and stormy night they are about to put life into a dead man's body, while suddenly Henry's bride Elizabeth, his best friend Victor Moritz and Doctor Waldman enter the tower. Elizabeth was very worried about Henry, so she asked Waldman to guide her and Victor to him. First Henry refuses to show them the labaratory, but after Victor calls Henry mad, he leads them to it. There he explains Waldman the meaning of his discovery and what he is about to do. He and Fritz elevate operational table with artifical creature on it on the top of the tower, where it is stricked by lightings. After the table goes down Frankenstein sees how his creation's hand starts to move. Shocked and blinded by success Henry screams: "It's alive! Now I know how how it feels like to be God!
