Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus has been retold, reconfigured, and reinterpreted innumerable times over the last 200 years. Like Victor Frankenstein, the re-inventors pick and choose the pieces they feel will best serve their purposes and their new creations. These creations cross many media and tend to fall into two categories: reincarnations---reviving aspects of Shelley's narrative, usually plot and characters, in direct and obvious ways --- and reinventions---reimagining aspects of Shelley's narrative, usually themes, in new and creative ways.
