FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER, NINE

This is specifically the version of the Monster in Van Helsing. I’m trying to remember. He’s barely “born”, right? The Doctor is killed, villagers come with torches, and the Monster falls into the flaming windmill. I don’t think he has a chance to be mistreated by his creator.

However, he is co-opted into Dracula’s scheme, and he resists. This Monster seems to instantly know right from wrong, justice from injustice. He does not want to be used to power the vampire babies.

The traditional Monster is a Four. Feelings seem to go with the territory of this character. I want to say Nine, though, for this Monster. It’s the justice. Also, he’s very conscious of his size and strength. He can unleash his power, but he chooses to control it.

He’s actually a very sweetly written/acted Nine. He has a touch of Six in him (his weakness number) that gives him a tenderness and sympathy.
