Mary Shelley didn't write Frankenstein, even though it's attributed to her.

lol ive got this much done so far....

Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein is an allusion to Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. Not only do they share common themes, but the stories also parallel one anther from a 19th century tale to a 20th century retelling. While both works are memorable in there own respects, the characters and the stories leave the audience with 2 very distinct flavors. Frankenstein a mature horror theme novel and Edward Scissorhands, a whimsical inventive and creative film.
Frankenstein was revolutionary for its time. The idea of moral boundaries and coupled with its dark theme created a physco-thriller for the readers of the time. It blurred the line between right and wrong, and was light years beyond its time. Not only did it bring about moral issues that we have today about abortion, but it brought about issues of its day about the moral boundaries of science.
Tim Burton has always been a mastermind. With films such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Batman” at his resume its no surprise that Edward Scissorhands took upon the same dark theme humor of his previous films. The wondrous colorful world of the suburbs is a stark contrast to the dark brooding Edward Scissorhands. Along with its ironic invert in which Edwards property is meek and mellow while the mansion is whimsical filled with lush vegetation dense vegetation, all the while retaining equilibrium as the mansions interior is colorless and sullen.

How can something written in the early 19th century allude to something written in the late 20th century? I think you may want to switch that around.

Frankenstein is a lyrical melody of tortuous calamity and ukkempt thought that rivals those of the mere happenstance of the nazi regime. In contrary to popular hypothesis of an edwardian scissor man that could best a frankenstein with relations to their abilities divided by such ideas that an unarmed monstrous force could face the culmination of scissor technology in the west which has formed the opinion of the people that without doubt, the scissors are right.
