    What does director Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994), directed by Kenneth Branagh, have in common— a mutual underlying story; but their differences are what makes their tales all the more special. Edward Scissorhands is a retelling of Frankenstein, but with a slight twist. In Edward’s case instead of lacking companionship like Frankenstein’s monster, he lacks hands; and is received rather well by the surrounding community. Ironically, in both tales the characters share the same desire to be love; this ignites the question – why do humans want to be love? Are we only important as we are loved?

Traditionally, a canon is a series of texts which are said to be texts of “greatest value” and typically consists of text written by dead, white, European males. By simply acknowledging this, there is no doubt that texts written by such a narrow criteria of authors would inspire great prejudice and bias. Through comparisons of the classic play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, and the modern novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley, it will be highlighted that although both texts are unarguably great sources for education, through their representations of universal themes, human dilemma, and their appeal to future readers, “Frankenstein” is an equal, or superior text which should undoubtedly be included in the classic canon. In our modern society of digital technology, it is
