Based on the thesis, that the works of James Whale and Richard Brinsely Peake use comic relief in various ways and differ amongst each other, the following paper attempts to investigate in which way, respectively to what extent “Presumption” and “The bride of Frankenstein” adapt Shelley’s novel whereby the emphasis will be on the incidence of comic relief and the impact of using such a rhetorical device. In order to properly use and work with it, there will be a definition of comic relief at the beginning of this paper, followed by a short plot analysis and the audience’s perception, including a comparison of both works and their considerable reviews respectively. This paper will conclude with an evaluation as well as a summary of the results
