Frankenstein wasn’t a doctor. He was a student that dropped out of college to conduct his life-creating experiments. He was a self-absorbed coward who was completely incapable of taking responsibility for his actions, but most of all he was a kid in way over his head.
The monster, on the other hand, was a cold-blooded murderer.
The monster was not a cold-blooded murderer. The monster was a being spawned into existence curious and idealistic only to be corrupted by the brutality of nature and the prejudice of mankind.
The monster was a murderer of innocent children yes, but the murders were an emotional reaction to the monster’s hatred for itself and the creator that forced such suffering upon him.
I still follow the belief that both frankenstein and his monster are monsters. One in a literal sense the other in an abstract sense
Intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster.
Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein was the monster.
