Rewriting Frankenstein

What happens to the monster (the situation) 2. His choices as a result (the impact) Which scene will you rewrite? When Felix shoots the monster

Then the monster will run away and call revenge. The Monster is feeling rejected, angry and lonely.

Felix does not shoot then monster and the monster will help them live and gather wood and food.

Then Max will come in and try to kill the monster but the monster killed max and all the villagers because they are trying to kill all three of them. Then they rule the village. And live happy for the rest of their life. Then the monster calls his friends

Rewriting Frankenstein
NOTE ON STAGING SET DESIGN A simple cottage in a village Inside the cottage there is a wooden table, two beds, three chairs and a book shelf Wooden door Pots and pans PROPS Felix A gun for One rabbit for Agatha Gun powder and bullets for Felix COSTUMES Torn cloths for Felix Old skirts and shirts that are too small for the monster Monster: a torn and bloody t-shirt and pants. Then he will get cloths that are too small for him. LIGHTING/SOUND/SPECIAL EFFECTS A spot light for the monster when he says FOR Agathe. When the villagers invade there is lighting in the back ground When the monsters came in the house there is a red light

Why I chose this set

I chose this set because I wanted to show that the Monster is nice and can help people be getting them food, water and clothes. The props show that Felix is a hunter and is good and finding food. The costumes I chose is to show that the Monster has been chased by dogs and people are trying to kill him. Felix and Agatha have clothes that are torn and are too small because they dont have a lot of money. I want the lighting to be red when the Monster came in and add suspense. Agatha walks in with a rabbit and the Monster is knocking on the door while Felix is polishing his musket. The monster is walking around the house and is trying to find a way in. Felix: WOW, that is a lot of meat there. We can have a feast tonight.

Agatha: I know, I am going to cook now. Felix: Do you hear something? I do. Agatha: Yes I will check the door to see if anyone is there. Felix: Ok. Felix: Get down! There is a Monster and he looks like he is trying to kill you.

Agatha does not get down she stays there and feel the Monsters face. Agathe: NO DONT SHOOT HIM. HE IS KIND.

Monster: Yes, I help you bring wood. I dog friend live help me. Felix: I DONT CARE! Monster: but they help live good, war help. Felix: I will shoot you. Agatha is in front of the monster protecting him from being shot. Agathe: I will kill myself if you shoot the Monster. Felix: Fine. Felix puts his gun away and lets the Monster in the house. Monster: I get food. The Monster comes back and is holding a dead cow and 12 eggs. Felix: Thanks, Monster. Felix: We need to give you a name. Monster: What is name? Felix: Your name should be Monster. Monster: Name Monster. All of a sudden Max (the villagers priest) comes in and tries to kill the Monster. Max: I will kill that Monster. Agathe: Dont shoot him he is nice. Monster: I nice, you bad, I kill you. Felix: I declare war.

Monster: For Agatha! Max: (clap) all of the villagers come and try to kill them!

Felix: We can take them on. We need help. Monster: No we dont, I am strong (He flexes and looks strong).

(Scared) Felix: Ok. Max: Begin the war. Why bother trying to fight? You know I will win.

Monster: Can I call my friends from the jungle? Felix: ok. Monster: he screams loud and a lot of wolves come and help them defeat Max. The Monster has lived and was being raised by wolves in the jungle and was making friends that could help him if he was in trouble. Max: Dont kill me! You can do anything to me but not kill me please. Monster: You hated me and my friends. You shall pay for what you have done. Felix shoots Max in the middle of the stage and a spot light is on Max. Max: You shall pay. Agatha: Shall I pay for what you have done, to me and my friends. Then Agathe, Monster and Felix live and add on to their house and live happy for the rest of their life. One year latter Monster: Bye, see you in one hour after I get the food from the shop down the road. Agatha: ok, see you later. Bye Fore year latter The monster, Agatha and Felix are having dinner in a six story house and have taking over all of the land and have given all the pore people some money to live with.
