The Monster
Frankenstein’s monster was a fictional character who featured in the novel; the modern Prometheus (1818) by Mary Shelley. Victor Frankenstein applying his chemistry knowledge built the creature (Shelley 55). On the other hand, Robert Wagner is an American actor known for various movies, for instance, the Towering Inferno and the Pink Panther. Wagner has acted from the 1950s to date. The two characters have different and parallel facial characteristics a factor that makes their description viable.
The Frankenstein monster is an ugly character with a yellow face and black lips. The color yellow portrays him as extremely ugly because one can be able to see the flow of blood in the arteries. The natural black mouths provide a complete mismatch to the yellow face (Shelley 56). On the other hand, Wagner is a handsome man with a light complexion. His lips match to the skin of the face, and there is no sign of ugliness.
Taylor says, “He had skin trouble. It was agony for him to wear anything next to his skin coarser than silk.” The description here fits that of Frankenstein where he also had a skin problem as identified above (Higashi 48). However, the little monster’s skin was rough while that of victor’s monster was thin and yellow. The two thus have a striking resemblance to skin problems. Taylor describes the monster as an ugly man “He was an undersized little man, with a head too big for his body — a sickly little man.” The monster is very different from Wagner who is portrayed as a healthy man.

The monster thus gives a better way of describing Wagner due to the striking differences.
In conclusion, Frankenstein is an ugly character with yellow skin and other unattractive features (Higashi 48). On the other hand, Wagner is a healthy and ordinary man playing films. The little monster in Taylor’s work has similar qualities with Frankenstein for instance skin problems. Physically, there is no similarity between the short man and Wagner.
