Female Frankenstein

In modern day films and shows the female Frankenstein (monster) was depicted as a beautiful female with a strip of silvery gray hair in her full jet black beehive hair style. In the book this is a contradiction of what the monster had asked for. He wanted a female who was just as hideous as he was. He wanted the female to be a mirror image of himself. Victor questioned her creation because he though what if he would be bringing damage to the entire human race. These creatures might create babies and that would be another generation of unwanted an discriminated human beings. Victor also wondered what if the female didn't like the male creature and didn't want to be kept from his society. She possibly could be attracted by the beautiful male form that men in his society represent. Why would modern day society turn the female into a figure of beauty instead of how Frankenstein wanted her to look. Could they have been trying to change the conception of what the monster stood for.
