The time period and setting of the film are never mentioned and have been the subject of continuous debate. The electronic devices in this film and its sequels suggest a time period of the late 1800s, but Mary Shelley actually wrote the book in the early 1800s. The names of characters and locations seem to be mainly of German origin, but the actors are mostly British and speak with British accents. Director James Whale said that it is meant to be like a fairy tale set in no particular year.
