When looking through my favorite classic American movies and novels based off of them, I've stumbled upon 'Of Mice And Men' by John Steinbeck. You can't help but realize the similarities within these two stories, although they're very different. In 'Of Mice and Men', one of the main characters is a behemoth of a man, but has the intelligence and naivety of that of a child, and he is known as a monster throughout the community they reside in, ringing any bells? This is just like the first opening scenes when Frankenstein's monster rose. Another scene that I could almost directly relate to Frankenstein is when the monster killed the little boy by accident by covering up his mouth. And When Lennie (the big guy in Mice and Men) killed the young woman in the barn, they both didn't know what they were capable of, but they both committed murder.
