Knowledge is understanding Frankenstein isn’t the monster
Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein is the monster
Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein
And THAT’S how I got into Juilliard!
Knowledge is having read the book and seeing both parties acknowledge that their relationship is familial, that Frankenstein is a surname, and thus recognizing that there is both the Doctor and Monster Frankenstein.
They’re both Frankenstein, and also they’re both monsters. Victor shouldn’t have made the monster, and he should’ve done more to stop it, but the monster was also an asshole. Being treated like a monster doesn’t make it okay to act like one.
And actually reading the book is understanding that Frankenstein wasn’t the monster
His biggest crime was abandoning his creation. His creation’s biggest crime was the multiple murders
I’m not going to justify the murders, especially the child, but the common people were beating him everywhere he went. This guy was a genius who just wanted a friend.
Frankenstein’s biggest crime was allowing Justine to be executed.
Uh… 🙋
Nice.
You weren’t even there, man!
Is there a Beetlejuicing community on Lemmy yet?
If I created a monster, I’d like them to inherit my last name.
Yeah, there’s a pretty decent argument that “Adam” would count as Victor’s illegitimate son
A connoisseur
Taking a sci fi class right now and the prof made us watch that. Pretty good movie. Part where Frankenstein’s Monster shags his wife is a little weird though
Not in the 70s
Think of it this way- Victor got to shag both Madeline Kahn and Terri Garr.
Lucky bastard.
“Dr. Frankenstein is my father’s name. Call me Frank.”
I know there’s Frankenstein, but is there the opposite? Lyingstein? Desifulstein!
