Doctor Pretorius
Follow the lead of nature - or of God, if you like your Bible stories. Male *and* female created to them. Be fruitful and multiply. Create a race. A man-made race upon the face of the earth. Why not?

It may be that I'm intended to know the secret of life. It may be part of the divine plan.

Everything is now ready for you and me to begin our supreme collaboration!

[first lines]
[prologue]
[Lord Byron looking out the window at a thunderstorm]
Lord Byron
How beautifully dramatic! The cruelest savage exhibition of nature at her worst without.
[turns to face Mary and Percy Shelley, both seated]
Lord Byron
And we three. We elegant three within. I should like to think that an irate Jehovah was pointing those arrows of lightning directly at my head. The unbowed head of George Gordon, Lord Byron. England's greatest sinner. But I cannot flatter myself to that extent. Possibly those thunders are for our dear Shelley. Heavens applause for England's greatest poet.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
What of my Mary?
Lord Byron
She's an angel.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
You think so?
🧡

Henry Frankenstein
[after seeing Pretorius' creations]
But this isn't science. It's more like black magic.
Doctor Pretorius
You think I'm mad. Perhaps I am. But listen, Henry Frankenstein. While you were digging in your graves, piecing together dead tissues, I, my dear pupil, went for my material to the source of life. I grew my creatures, like cultures, grew them as nature does, from seed.
🧡

🥱
Henry Frankenstein
Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world - the secret that God is so jealous of: the formula for life. Think of the power - to create a man - and I did. I did it! I created a man - and who knows, in time, I could have trained him to do my will. I could have built a race. I might even have found the secret of eternal life!

Our mad dream is only half realized. Alone, you have created the man. Now, together, we will create - his mate.
