knowledge is knowing is that frankenstein is the doctor, wisdom is knowing that frankenstein in the monster! well, actually, frankenstein is just a nasty little college dropout that faints fifty times a day! i swear, he's SUUUUCH a weak little bitch boy, aren't disabled people so dumb? and you Knooooow he was just a cute, cute, CUTE dainty little nerd that got it up the ass from henry clerval, but god he is not cute enough to redeem him of being a fucking DEADBEAT! people with post partum depression should just get over it LITERALLY had no reason to abandon Adam (because, you know, that's his CANNON name! only haters call him the Creature), only did it cuz of his weird eyes :/ I would have taken care of Adam, he was just a widdle defenseless baby awwwee!! plus, he's actually HOT! peter steele with weird eyes, ya know??? AND Adam didn't know killing people was wrong he was mentally a baby he's innocent :(((( he didn't KNOOOW ok he did nothing wrong ever?? he just wanted love, a wife who was still unborn that he spoke of like she was fucking property not even thinking about her consent and wanted to trap inside a frankly incestuous marrriage (that parallels that of victor and elizabeth) via requesting her to be as ugly as him with a massive power imbalance that would have likely led him to grooming her !! VICTOR was in the wrong, he could have just not given her ovaries which is definitely not similar to a certain eugenicist practise in the 19th-20th c. :/// honestly, victor DESERVED everything bad that happened to him, he lived suuuuuuuuchhhhhhhh a good life and had awesome and amazing parents SO WHY DIDN'T HE TREAT ADAM RIGHT????? his childhood as PERFECT so he should have given the same to poor baby Adam... i mean, i guess the incest is kind of weeeeeeeiiiiiirrddd but that was normal back then so i'm not going to interrogate the incest any further :) victor was SISTER-FUCKER, he had a SISTER COMPLEX, my god, i feel sooooo bad for elizabeth!! but, yanno, she was suuch an underdeveloped character tbh, never could bring myself to like her; you know how classic lit women are!! nevermind the fact the author was the daughter of one of the most prominent proto-feminists ever but clerval..... OOOOH CLERVAL!!! I LOVE CLERVAL SOOOOO MUCH HE NEVER DIED TRUST!!!1 BEST CHARACTER EVER!!! such a golden retriever awwwhh!! clervalstein is so black cat/golden retriever, thought victor doesnt DESERVE clerval. i feel so bad for clerval, being FORCED into taking care of victor at ingolstadt :/// disabled people are victor is SO selfish... omg, ESPECIALLY at justine's trial!!!! uuuuughhhh, he should have just CONFESSED, because OBVIOUSLY the judges are going to believe victor created an 8ft homunculus serial killer AND be able to catch him!!! and victor won't be considered insane at all, nuh uh, and justine would still be aliveeee cuz of how fair and awesome the justice system is, ESPECIALLY for lower class women in the 1700s! speaking of that, william was SUCH a fucking brat, wasnt he?? he was MEAN to Adam, that stupid fucking TODDLER omgggg!!! basically, though... victor was OBVIOUSLY the villain here; this is a story about deadbeat dads, how do sooooo many people miss that?!?! isn't mary shelley such a GOTH BADDIE for dedicating the book to her own FATHER?? honestly i just wish i was her!!!! literally the OG girlboss, like she wrote frankenstein to get away from lord byron!!! she was around such evil oppressive men all the time!! did you know she lost her virginity on her mother's grave? did you know she lost her virginity on her mother's grave? did you know she lost her virginity on her mother's grave? did you know shE I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT READ I CANT REA
As a clervalstein shipper and a Victor defender, I agree with you. Today in my lit class I overheard some people defending the creature like HE KILLED A LITTLE BOY. AND BLAMED AN INNOCENT WOMAN. It’s true that when babies are neglected they can develop violent characteristics, and Victor is definitely at fault in many areas but he’s not a monster or irredeemable. He still has humanity and idek how many times it was SHOWN that he was averse to marrying Elizabeth. He only pretended like he was fine doing it because it was his mother’s dying wish. So many people just blatantly ignore his inner turmoil. Not everything is black and white. “We need more realistic and flawed characters!!!” Yall can’t even handle Victor Frankenstein nearly 210 years later. And I will say it again: YES he is very flawed!!! That does NOT mean he’s irredeemable, or doesn’t have any other qualities, or lacks compassion. In fact, he felt for the creature when he told him his story, and only became (rightfully!!!) angry again when the creature got to the part where he murdered his little brother. Of course he’s going to want to deny the creature’s request after that. And even still he felt bad and felt like it was wrong to not grant the creature this one thing. He was thinking about how it would impact other people too. There is so much NUANCE that so many people just straight up ignore and it’s so frustrating. You don’t have to like Victor, but please don’t pretend like he’s the devil incarnate
