1. 1. How does Frankenstein the book and the film reflect upon the role of morality and science?
I think that the book and film about Frankenstein was trying to convey how science was able to play 'God' during the time of this movie. As we all know, at that time, religion was what's dominant, and as to Science, well, it is not as advanced as the Science we have today, so developments like creating a creature is revolutionary. Since that time, religion is the basis on whatever happens in the world, being able to dig that deep in science and being able to create 'life' can be regarded as immoral. This is because that time, their belief is that only God can create life and no one else, not just a mere human being can.
2. The difference between the movie adaptation of the monster and in the book is that the monster was able to carry a decent conversation. Why was the monster made dumb? Did it work?
I think the reason why Frankenstein was not able to create decent conversations is to demonstrate that Frankenstein was just a creation of a person. It's like showing that the creation is still inferior to the creator. Just like how religion states that God created us. And He is perfect, and his creations are not the same level as He is. He is God. And we are just his creations
