Character Role Analysis

Inga/Elizabeth

Inga and Elizabeth represent two different romantic interests for Frederick. Elizabeth, his sultry-talking fiancée, avoids his sexual advances while Inga, his lab assistant, encourages them. Elizabeth oozes sexiness, but it's actually hands-off with her. Inga has a more innocent charm but is clearly the real sexy deal.

It's kind of fitting that the Doctor ends up sharing his mind with the monster at the end. That way, he gets to have both women, sort of. The monster's domesticated, and ends up with Elizabeth (who's quite a bit more frisky after being with the monster). The Doctor, who gets some of the monster's, um, shall we say chutzpah, ends up bedding and wedding the more receptive Inga.
