It's really easy to conflate the Golem story with the Frankenstein story- they have a similar basis, but the underpinning themes are very different and if you tell a Golem story with Frankenstein themes it's going to fall down for me. Golem stories are about creating life in imitation of the God the Creator with the Creator's approval, not in defiance of God's law as in the Frankenstein story.
