Frankenstein is a morality play, the moral being that scientists shouldn’t mess around with trying to reanimate dead tissue, no matter how “mad” they are. It will end in disaster and will spawn many sequels.

He Comes in On Little Cat Feet ~

Apparently stricken deaf, Elizabeth (played by the lovely Mae Clarke) doesn’t know the monster is behind her and is about to carry her away. When she can no longer deny that he is in the room with her, she screams and then faints (of course), facilitating the abduction.
