Abstract: Mary Shelley’s attempt to create a Female Gothic in the textual space of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818) has enabled the inauguration of critical discourse in a novel that refutes generic classifications. Bernard Rose’s film titled, Frankenstein (2015), has appropriated Mary Shelley’s nineteenth-century novel for contemporary viewers. The insertion of the monster’s Oedipal desire for Elizabeth in the cinematic adaptation supplements the investigation of orthodox romantic ideals by visualizing potentialities in the story. This paper endeavors to critique the illustration of the Oedipal Complex in Rose’s film to comprehend the significance of its incorporation in the plot.
