holy fucking idiots
…did they read the book?? You cant really help but feel bad for Adam (he called himself Adam at some point, been a while). He was absolutely right to wanna kill Frankenstein, Frankenstein created him and then was fucking awful about it
orphaned child rejected by society and parents
this says a lot about science and creation of life
(i also remember feeling very bad for the guy)
It’s almost exactly what we call an ‘incel’
Rejected by everyone, gets real mad and violent about it
The difference, I suppose, is that Frankenstein’s monster didn’t have access to some MChan where he could get all of his worst thoughts and feelings normalized, amplified, and signal boosted, before rampaging out again to “get the high score.”
That being said, I’m surprised that CHUDs haven’t adopted Frankenstein’s monster or Grendel from the novel in 1971.
“Nooo! Us Nazis aren’t evil, we’re just misunderstood! And did you guys know we were sad once?”
“Nooo! Us Nazis aren’t evil, we’re just misunderstood!
One of my hotter takes is that the “vampires that sparkle” shit and related “blood sucking monster is actually really nice if he wants to have sex with you” slop of the early 2000s was basically that. It had some overlap with “The Galactic Empire of Star Wars Did Nothing Wrong, Actually” and “Grey Jedi that have all the cool dark side powers but don’t label them, maaaaaaan” shit in that fandom too.
Rejected on account of inhumanity though - it’s more like a racial spurning than him being a malcontent. Initially, he tries to be kind, even though he was been brought into the world lacking a real parental figure.
Frankenstein himself was much more of an entitled shitlord.
Nah nah nah nah, the big brain take here is that this is Poe’s law in action and the writer is a plant who’s been waiting for their moment.
Oh this shit again
THE ENTIRE POINT OF FRANKENSTEIN IS AN ALLEGORY FOR THE ACT OF CREATION
FRANKENSTEIN MADE A LIVING THING WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE RESULT AND IN DOING SO, DROVE HIS CREATION TO ACTS OF MALICE AND MADNESS!
WE ARE ALL MADE VICTIMS, WE ARE ALL MADE MONSTERS!
wow WOKE nerd actually READS BOOK
I was reading chapter books when I was 5, I had to do for myself what my USAan schools refused to
That’s because the USian schools were trying to teach you the winners mindset of delegating your readungs to some egghead at coles notes.
Whoa was Frankenstein actually antinatalist???
More about parental responsibilities really
If Frankenstein had cared more for his creation, then his creation wouldn’t have gone off the deep end
I fucking hate Western politics. This culture war shit is just brainrot
This comrade gets it
when I was in high school I was in the teacher’s supply closet and stole a copy of Frankenstein that one of the other classes was reading. I’m 100% sure if I just asked my teacher to borrow a copy she wouldve lent it to me no questions asked. it had this cover art
this is unrelated to the thread but it’s a fun little memory I share when I remember Frankenstein is a thing.
that’s not Frankensteins monster
that’s just some guy
Frankenstein’s neighbor.
It looks so much more like Frankenstein’s monster than the pop culture thing does.
Information about its appearance in the book: a bigger-than-average human sewn together from large bits of corpses.
That looks like it.
True, much more accurate than Mr Bolt Through The Neck, but in my mind the stitching was always more apparent, and the parts less perfect in their symmetry.
imagine someone taking your picture then telling you “this is for my book about a MONSTROUS FREAK who KILLS PEOPLE”
oh … okay …
Is this a Fire Nation meme
Nonwoke take on one of the oldest monster stories of all times: MONSTER BAD AND UGLY AND EVIL KILL IT KILL IT I AM VERY HEROIC
“Now let me tell you about Goblin Slayer”
“Actually the author said that the goblins aren’t intelligent in any meaningful way and are more like a fungal infection that conveniently needs SV to reproduce”
From Wikipedia:
After initially being disgusted by both Goblin Slayer’s merciless brutality towards goblins as well as him continuously drenching her in goblin blood which covers the scents of humans, elves, and women
I hate that fash slop so much.
I bet I could take Frankenstein. He’d be crying because he was woke and respects women and I’d fucking punch him so hard, probably kill him.
As long as you’re cool, calm, and collected you can just evade and hit weak points.
They didn’t have BJJ when Frankenstein was invented, I bet I could get him in a chokehold
You might be able to do a CQC hug and then tell him “it’s not your fault” as a finisher
It’s a book with multiple interpretations, like any halfway-good bit of art. Only absolute schlock has moral clarity.
The monster obviously isn’t the good guy, as he strangles children.
The baizou thing of “the monster was good” makes no sense. Take any other murderous incel or child-killer and apply the same. Most people who do heinous murders didn’t have easy lives prior to that; it’s not a justification.
But the monster gets to give his side of the story a lot, in long monologues. I feel some people took them monologues too literally, said, “This is the message of the book”, and I took it as the distorted ravings of monstrous psychology, with his subjective validity.
Yeah, but I think given Shelley’s circles more radical tendencies, the interpretation of some revolutionary allegory is a strong one, especially when you think of that Rousseau(?) poem about the ruling class creating the ‘monsters’ that will destroy them.
The Monster isn’t some child killer with a tough past, he’s a child born into an adults body, cast out into the cold by his creator, and then spurned on account of his perceived inhumanity by every living being.
Most murderers get accepted by some initially, and when they don’t it’s on account of their bad vibes. The Monster showed himself to be very emotionally capable in spite of his troubles, and capable of living amongst humanity, especially in his covert benevolence towards the blind mans family. He even rescues a child, but is then shot at because people perceive him to be a monster.
Is this satire? Must be a slow news day if they’re caring about universities discussing books they haven’t read in ways they don’t like. They say that as if they haven’t been trying to do the Draco in Leather Pants trope over the goddamn confederacy or Nazi Germany.
What’s the matter? Not enough brown people to fearmonger over?
I imagine the following path to publication:
Some Nazi incel STEMlord is forced by the woke SJW cabal to READ a BOOK in COMMIE LITERATURE GE class
—> whines about it to his shithead parents in the hopes they sue the school for violating his rights —> Shithead parents make a phone call to their friend who writes ragebait articles for a nazi tabloid hoping to ride the coattails into a fox news appearance
