How would you write the story of Frankenstein?

If you were to rewrite "Frankenstein" from the moment the monster ran away from his creator into the wild world, what would your version be like? What would the end of your story be like? What would you change in the original story and what would you leave as it is?

I would probably have the monster see a better side of life.Find more kindness in birth humans. Instead of just the one who cannot see what he looks like. And I would give him a real name. People call him Frankenstein. But he was Frankensteins monster. He never actually had a name. Dr Frankenstein was the creator.We have names, only fair after all.

Thanks. That's a good point, giving him a name. Dr. Frankenstein made a lot of mistakes. It makes you wonder if he wasn't the real monster after all, not the poor creature. It seems very cruel to me to create a living thing and then abandon it like that.

...he would be created in a test tube, by scientists gone quite mad.. numerous embryos would be 'made' and then heartlessly destroyed all in the name of this 'progress'.. and all the while another humane means of doing so would exist, but for some reason the mad scientists would be bent upon destroying tiny pre born lives in the name of science.. til they discovered a means of people to live forever.. then the rich would live forever and anyone else would only be around for spare parts..
