The method of animating the creature is never discussed in Mary Shelley's novel. In the book, Frankenstein, narrating, refuses to divulge how he did it so no one can recreate his actions, although there are some hints that it involves mixing chemicals. However, the use of lightning to resurrect the monster has become the accepted methodology and appears in almost every Frankenstein movie since. Two notable exceptions are Frankenstein: The True Story (1973), in which the Monster is animated by sunlight, and Frankenstein di Mary Shelley (1994), which uses electric eels instead of lightning as the source of electricity.
