...but rather to exercise its muscles (think of the user-unconscious exercise vats in [[Film/{{Avatar}} space epics]] and 1950s exercise machine ripoffs) and prepare them to recieve messages from the brain, once Frankenstein finished fixing the brain and setting it up.

* Simple. Justine was intentionally poisoning William so she could nurse him back to health. One day, she gave him too much and he died. Or he was never dead. Everything that happened after the creature's creation was a figment of Frankstein's addled brain. I prefer the latter, but this is Wild Mass Guessing.

[[WMG: Dr. Frankenstein didn't sew pieces of corpses together.]]
* If he had, the result would have been about the size of a regular human. But the creature is eight feet tall.
* Possibly Dr. Frankenstein ground the body parts up for cell culture.

How, you ask? Well, [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk there's one good comparison that can be used]]...

** Obviously the Bride ''did'' survive, escaped the ruins of the laboratory, and due to her far comelier appearance she didn't experience the hate and fear that the Monster did when she encountered other people. Eventually she learned to talk, and pieced together her history (and that of her predecessor) from stories told by the townsfolk. She took the name Mary and wrote it all down. Or did you think it was a coincidence that the Mary Shelley we see in the prologue looks so familiar?

[[WMG: The monster was ugly because of muscle memory]]
Because they were dead, the muscles were "slack" when Victor had sculpted the monster to be "handsome", but, when he brought it to life, the "muscle memory" effect came into play, all of the muscles flexing and relaxing into their "original" shape, disfiguring the Monster, had he used a method to keep the muscles taut while sculpting the Creatures features, the effect would have been much more pleasing to Victor.

* This was actually kind of used in the 2011 stage play, starring Creator/BenedictCumberbatch and Creator/JonnyLeeMiller, with them switching roles between Frankenstein and the monster each night.

** Maybe a compromise? Victor ''did'' create the monster but the experience destroyed his sanity. He then kills his friends and [[BelievingTheirOwnLies convinces himself]] the creature was the culprit. The creature's suicide at the end isn't over guilt but despair that he lost the only person who could have even theoretically loved him.

* Surprisingly, there's no indication the ''Bride'' survived her introductory movie, even though she presumably would have been built the same way as Monster #1, if not ''better'' (it was Victor's second attempt, he had help, and she's certainly nicer to look at).

** Considering that The Monster himself is an allegory for Shelley's own stillbirth, it could be a metaphor for considering having another child, but deciding not to risk that pain again. Or it could be reaffirming the Aesop of not playing God.

to:

* Creator/JamesRolfe theorizes something very similar to this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzcyPweRyC8 this video]]; that there is something inherent to the Monster as an individual that will basically overwrite any new identity forced upon it.
