Evidence

Frankenstein’s creature is yet another example supporting Halberstam’s claim that skin is the organ that most commonly represents monstrosity. Here, the monster’s skin is yellow, while in other cases, such as the Black Saracen, as mentioned earlier, it is blue, purple, or black. — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 1117
