top 3 worst frankenstein takes:
"frankenstein is the REAL monster". boring, hackneyed, overdone
"mary shelley wrote this just to get away from lord byron" embarassingly wrong, read anything at all she wrote about him to be immediately disproven
transphobia, somehow
waiiiitttttt i forgot an absolute classic 4. this novel must be about shelleys own family and relationships because i cant fathom how women might comment on scientific and cultural discourses outside of their own immediate circumstances. also applicable to any woman novelist ever
