Music Connection

In the novel, music isn't directly addressed. However, Frankenstein has been the inspiration for many pieces of music. These include popular rock songs, movie scores, rock operas and sing-a-longs. Much of this music only gets to the basic idea of a fearful monster. However, the example of a 56-track movie score reaches the details, emotions, and mood of the novel. The fact that Frankenstein and the monster more specifically have made there way into so much music shows that the novel and it's characters still play a role as pop culture icons today. The links below are for listening to examples of this music.
