I would love to take a stab at this. I am a well published psychologist, author of 4 popular psychology books. I've written 4 screenplays. Here's the beginning of one I've written on Mary Shelley.
Mary, Mary Quite Contrary
By Sharon Heller
ACT ONE
FADE IN:
EXT. THEATRE - EVENING-ENGLAND, 1850
A European grand theatre. PEOPLE walking in, elegantly dressed. Marquee says "Frankenstein.
INT. THEATER STAGE -
FRANKENSTEIN'S CREATURE lies on a table in a dungeon. A STAGEHAND throws the switches. Storm begins. Table raises up. Lightning strikes it. Hand starts to quiver. VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN stands over table. The creature begins to stir.
VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN (looking aghast)
It's alive!
He looks at the yellow, watery eyes of the creature and his hideous mummy like appearance.
VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN
Oh what horror have I created!
He backs up. The creature reaches his hand out to Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein runs out the door. The creature gazes at him with sad eyes.
PAN ON AUDIENCE, horror struck and screaming.
INTERCUT TO BOOTH
MARY SHELLEY (serene smile; piercing eyes; pale skin; reddish full hair), in her 40's, watches the stage from a booth in the balcony. She is quiet, reserved, warm but at times volatile. She weighs her words and actions carefully. Next to her sits her son PERCY, around age 20. Mary's serene smile contrasts with the audience's horror.
INT. STAGE-DAY
The creature walks through snow and ice-capped trees. He spies a cottage. He looks through a peephole.
INT. STAGE-DAY- INSIDE THE COTTAGE
A young sad looking couple sit inside huddled together. They have little food on the table. The fire embers are almost extinct.
INT. STAGE-DAY- WOODS
The creature, smiling, gathers wood and berries and leaves it outside their door.
INT. STAGE-DAY-INSIDE COTTAGE
The couple walk outside their door. They see the wood and berries and, overjoyed, begin to pick them up. Suddenly they spy the creature smiling at them. They drop everything and run horrified. The creature looks sad.
INT. STAGE-DAY-OUTSIDE COTTAGE
The creature lights a fire to the cottage.
INT. STAGE-DAY-WOODS
The creature walks through the woods. He spies a young boy.
CREATURE (smiling)
Oh, perhaps he is too young to know of deformity.
Smiling, he approaches the child. The child looks at him. He screams and starts to run. The creature picks him up.
CREATURE
I do not intend to hurt you. I want to befriend you.
CHILD
Let me go, hideous monster or I will tell my papa M. Frankenstein.
CREATURE
Frankenstein!.. from the family of the creator who spurned and deserted me.
The child struggles violently.
CHILD
Evil creature!
Frankenstein grasps his throat.
CREATURE
Silence!
The child dies in his arms.
CREATURE
Good. I rejoice. This death will torment and destroy my enemy, my creator.
INTERCUT TO BOOTH
Mary sits smiling serenely.
PERCY SHELLEY
The audience is terrified Mama.
MARY
Yes... as I was the first time the creature burst into my dreams.
PERCY SHELLEY
How old were you?
MARY
Nineteen.
PERCY SHELLEY
Why I'm nineteen, mama. I don't know if I could create such a gruesome story. Such evil.
MARY
Yes. His acts are evil. But remember he was not born thus. Unjust treatment made him a monster.
