      Shelley's book, unlike the adaptations, doesn't specify how he makes the monster - it doesn't describe the stitching body parts together and zapping them with electricity at all What little it does say says that his theory doesn't make any SENSE

      All his teachers tell him that he's just grabbing stuff from long-disproved authors from hundreds of years ago and putting it together in contradictory ways, he's a total crackpot For the sake of the story this is necessary, Victor's discovery is more madness than reason

      Yeah. I mean, it’s an odd one too, because there’s no traditional monster to match a Frankenstein. It’s from one book, and known from one movie

      There are analogs - golems, robots - but not quite a mythos

      Unlike Dracula, where the theme is that Dracula is this ancient folkloric tradition from this creepy primitive country invading the new modern world, the whole theme of Frankenstein as a work of literature revolves around the horror of modernity creating a truly brand new thing

      You can call Frankenstein's monster a kind of zombie or "flesh golem" or whatever you want to call it but by doing that you're destroying the whole point of the story All of the angst and horror is because Victor supposedly did something that's never been done before

      Yeah - And it's a weird double-move, because often the modern equivalents of Frankensteins kind of drop the doctor directly, or sideline him. Jurassic Park, Terminator, the Matrix, etc. The doctor is all of us.

      RUR, which gave us the word "robot", is obviously directly inspired by Frankenstein, and started the trend of making the horror worse by making the artificial people be the result of industrial capitalism rather than a single crazy scientist

      And the word "robot" was continuing this theme They have a name but it's a *brand* name, their whole species is named after what they were intend to do, work

      Yeah - and it's already a Czech word; the association is new, but he might as well have called them serfs, or slaves, or just workers.

      Well, the thing is it's not the normal word for a "worker", it's literally dehumanizing - "worker" is "robotnik", the "-nik" is the suffix for a person (like "-er") It's just "work", or maybe like making up an English word "workies"

          Čapek's original idea was to try to make up some dog-Latin word that gave this impression, like "Labori" (plural of "Laborus", which is bad fake Latin - "worker" in Latin is "laborator")

          He asked his brother Josef if "Labori" sounded too clinical and his brother said "Just call them 'robots'" Which, in Czech, was kind of a joke, which Čapek felt was inspired and ran with but is kind of lost in English today
