Mia Goth plays two characters in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein : Elizabeth (Victor Frankenstein’s beloved) and Victor’s mother.

Main roles she plays

  • Elizabeth Lavenza, Victor Frankenstein’s great love and central emotional anchor of the story.
  • Victor Frankenstein’s mother, creating a deliberate “mother/lover” duality in the film’s psychology and themes.

Why this dual casting matters

  • The casting choice is described as an intentional way to underline Victor’s emotional dependence and blurred boundaries between maternal comfort and romantic desire.
  • Cast and commentators note that it adds a strange, unsettling layer that fits del Toro’s darker, more psychological take on Frankenstein.

Quick context for the movie

  • The film is Guillermo del Toro’s reimagining of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein , released on Netflix with Jacob Elordi as the Creature and Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein.
  • Mia Goth’s Elizabeth is often highlighted in interviews and features as one of the standout performances and a key to the film’s emotional “heart.”
