When Shelley wrote her original novel in the early 1800s, electricity, then known as galvanism, was only in its earliest experimental stages. In the novel, Frankenstein uses only chemical means to instill life. The film suggests that the story takes place (loosely) in the late 1800s., when electrical science was reaching a state more resembling modern science. However there is no possibility, nor any explanation for, the immense amount of electrical power needed for Frankenstein to run his laboratory in an old abandoned castle on an isolated mountain top.
