No electricity in "Frankenstein" (Score 1)

Just in case no one has pointed this out already, but there was no use of electricity to animate Frankenstein's monster in Mary Shelley's novel. That idea came solely from Hollywood's bad adaptations of the novel. There's mention of electricity, lightening, and galvanism in chapter 2, but those just serve as motivating factors that lead Victor Frankenstein to attend college to study science. In fact, there is scarcely anything mentioned about what Frankenstein specifically did to bring his creation to life.
