It's the most accurate version of the book version of Frankenstein's Monster I've ever seen

Like it's the exact opposite of the classic movie Frankenstein, who's an innocent dumb child He's this disgusting twisted murder beast who is ALSO extremely thoughtful and sad and has the equivalent of a master's degree in English literature

He never just murders someone, he has to talk and talk and turn it into this lecture to send Victor on a guilt trip and like blow his mind with symbolism and shit

The way he tells it in the book he meant to do it but I've always wondered if he really intended to kill Victor's younger brother or if he just didn't realize how easily he could destroy a tiny human and immediately set about romanticizing and justifying this incident to himself

He puts SO MUCH MENTAL energy into constructing this narrative where he never had any agency for a single one of his actions and absolutely everything about him is the fault of something humans did to him And as awful as his situation is you've got to start to question it

I guess this is a typical hot take but oh man do Victor and the Creature both feel like Mary Shelley holding up a mirror to her husband and his friends

I don't know a whole lot about her personal life but it does seem telling that the creature wants a wife to share his misery ASAP

I mean just saying, she wrote the book while she and her husband were staying with Lord Byron and the Creature is one of the most Byronic characters in history, even more than his dad
