 Some scholars prefer the original version, arguing that it preserves the spirit of Mary Shelley's vision (see Anne K. Mellor's "Choosing a Text of "Frankenstein" to Teach" in the W. W. Norton Critical edition).Part of Frankenstein's rejection of his creation is the fact that he does not give it a name, which causes a lack of identity.Instead it is referred to by words such as "wretch", "monster", "creature", "demon", "devil", "fiend", and "it".
