The play is focused on the relation between the two characters: the doctor-creator and the monster-creature and the action is concentrated in a specific moment, a very important, crucial moment, when the creature realizes its otherness, the anomaly of a creature begot "beyond nature", in an artificial way, without history, without memory, with nothing but a series of pressing and maybe unrealizable desires. On the other side, from the doctor's point of view, the crucial moment corresponds to the moment of extreme self glorification, when, on the point of obtaining a possible and definite outcome, on the point of coming near to "perfection", his frenzy of almightiness reaches the paroxism and the challenge to God and nature reaches its dramatic culmination and leads him to an inevitable failure. The scene takes place in a laboratory-room which gives an idea of all the previous experiments of the doctor: defective, lifeless creatures, useless handiwork, a place where the irrepressible desire to leave something to the descendants, to record the event, to prove this event, his creation, though unnatural and monstruous, is easily guessed. The dramatic action is in the clash between the doctor-creator and the monster-creature, between these two unhealthy "humanities", without forgoing moments of aloof irony, insane lucid intervals, narritive possibilities to discuss important ethic questions; questions that they fail to control, questions to be discussed with a smile, but with the counsciousness of the risk of experiencing endless giddiness.
