Frankenstein. Werewolves. Dracula. These images aren''t just imaginary creatures -- they''re also powerful symbols of the body. The body can be thought of as a machine made up of parts like Frankenstein''s monster, or as a creature ruled by animalistic urges, or as an entity that''s vulnerable to infection from a diseased fiend. In "The Body of Frankenstein''s Monster," Cecil Helman, M.D., expands our view of our bodies by exploring its cultural and artistic representations.
