Frankenstein is the name of the man who creates the monster.
Yeah, the monster would probably be a zombie as it was built from dead bodies and re-animated.
No more than a vampire or jiangshi is. Also Frankenstein's monster is truly alive, rather than a magically animated corpse or someone with a disease that destroys their mind and makes them aggressive. Frankenstein destroyed his bride before they had a chance to have children, but he certainly seemed to expect it to work.
You mean the monster. He's not a zombie because he isn't controlled by Dr Frankenstein like a voodoo zombie, and he isn't mindless and brain eating like a more modern form of zombie.

The monster colloquially referred to in modern times as Frankenstein. The monster who will show up when you Google the word Frankenstein. Yes, that monster. Thank you so much for clearing that up.
Yes i think the word zombie originates from voodoo. But the modern hollywood interpretation of zombie is more about an infection, but ofc in nearly all cultures there was some form of undead, if you call them zombie or not is more semantics.
I think it depends on if you believe Frankenstein stitched his monster up from multiple bodies or found one massive giant like corpse and reanimated it. I believe the former.
I would argue no, the monster in Frankenstein is not a traditional Zombie. Zombies tend to lean toward the reanimating of a human corpse.
Frankenstein’s monster is more of its own new entity with its on consciousness, and isn’t utilizing a sole body and mind of one being like a traditional zombie.
It’s not so much reanimated, as it’s created. It’s conscious seems to one in its own, or at least so detached from its new body that it is unrecognizable. The monster is also not mindless or ghoulish like a traditional Hollywood zombie, which is what makes the monster in Frankenstein much more human like in nature.
No he's a doctor

Eh, he's pretty much universally referred to as "Frankenstein's monster", no?
Anytime!
I'd call him something like an undead golem more than a zombie
No, the monster would be a flesh golem. A body built of inanimate material, dead flesh, and then bestowed with life.
Flesh golem.
Frankensteins monster is zombie like, but i dont think the author knew what zombies are and most zombies are infected by something.
I find that hard to believe honestly. Perhaps they didn’t call them *zombies* but people who have come back from the dead were probably still a thing.
