Fusselli and Frankenstein?

This shot is from the movie Frankenstein with Boris Karloff.



The monster clearly unhinged after accidentally drowning a young girl, and it doesn't seem entirely outside the realm of possibility that he does something unspeakable with Elizabeth. The implication seems all the more evident when we consider the need he feels for a mate in THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.

I love how Whale frames the scene to look like Fuseli's 1781 painting, "The Nightmare," which features an incubus crouching atop a sleeping woman. Perhaps Whale structured the scene this way intentionally, calling upon an association with the painting's metaphor for transgressive sex.




Mary Shelley’s mom, Mary Wollstonecraft, had a turbulent affair with Fuselli. After he spurned her and married someone else, she offered to move in with them. Fuselli’s wife nixed the idea.
