Thanks for a great review of a literary classic!
As teenagers, my sister and I stayed up all night watching Frankenstein: The True Story (1973) - a vivid and riveting account of the doctor and his creation. It really captured the tension and conflict you describe here. The "monster" is innocent until he is hated and reviled... I should find and rewatch this movie, even though it's about as cinematic as "Dark Shadows" (a show that looks like a high school play when I revisit it as an adult, but as a child, I had no idea it was melodramatic with laughably lurid special effects).
