      True, true. I thought I remembered him bundling up in, you know, coats, but it might just be for the aesthetic.

      He's hardy enough to spend his entire life living outdoors, so if it isn't a superpower it's a perfect human thing. (Extensive musculature, excellent stamina, and seven feet tall; this is what happens when sleep-deprived lonely undergrads create life rather than go to the pub.)

      It actually says he had to make all the Creature's parts larger-than-life so they were big enough to sculpt the details by hand Which is kind of hilarious, and also actively goes against the "pieced together from corpses" explanation from all the adaptations

      Yeah, he's a homunculus rather than a D&D Flesh Golem. You'd think Victor explicitly reading Paracelsus would have given adaptors a hint, but...

      But the scavenged-corpses thing makes so much more sense to me, and here we are.

      I am, personally, a partisan against the idea that the book ever seriously meant that the Creature was made from corpses - the book alludes to Victor developing his method by looting charnel houses and slaughterhouses, but to me it indicates that's for study, not raw material

      Like he's examining organs in minute detail so he can figure out how to make his own lab grown synthetic ones from scratch (and what those organs are actually made of is the Big Secret he refuses to reveal)

      Now I'm kind of picturing a version where he goes to all that effort and all that detail to get it exactly right, and then he meets a Czech Jewish rabbi who's just like "You know you can just make it a vague blob of a person and write one word on the forehead right?"

      That's kind of what I mean by the Creature being a reverse homunculus The alchemical idea of the homunculus was that organic material "wants" to form life, of allowing life to be generated in a purer form than occurs in nature

      Taking sperm and giving it an artificial environment to grow in freed from all the randomness and chaos of a real human womb so you can create a miniaturized vessel for a pure and innocent spirit (Which, yes, has a bit of implicit misogyny to it)

      Victor's Method is like the opposite of that Rather than creating a pure unsullied environment for life to grow without interference, he *forces* life into existence by brute effort, handcrafted kludges, doing it all from scratch

          Rather than making some idealized pure form of what a human should be in tiny form, like a homun, he makes this great hulking grotesque parody, a thing that should not exist (Thematically, the Creature is a "robot", in a different era Shelley would've made him metal)
