Elizabeth Lavenza

This is Elizabeth Lavenza, originally from Mary Shelly’s book of ”Frankenstein”, but portrayed by Mia Goth in the latest Netflix serie called Frankenstein 2025. Modern interpretations, such as those seen in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025 film), present her as intellectually capable and compassionate, showing affection towards the Creature (Frankenstein’s Mosnter), and often imbued with a darker, more "alluringly strange" quality, as described by FASHION Magazine. The 2025 book The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein also portrays her as cunning and calculating, a stark contrast to her original depiction. Intellectual and complex: In some adaptations, she is shown to be intellectually on par with Victor. Compassionate towards the Creature: Unlike the original, she may show affection to the Creature, humanizing it in a way Victor did not. "Alluringly strange": FASHION Magazine notes that this strangeness is symbolized through her insect-inspired jewelry and outfits. Cunning and calculating: In adaptations like Kiersten White's book, she is portrayed as having a sharp intellect and a talent for survival. A force to be reckoned with: This new depiction moves away from her passive nature to show a character who will protect herself and her loved ones, even if it means standing in their way.
