biandanxious18:cockyroaches:firelxdykatara:an-ace-up-your-sleeve:chrisflemingslegs:mythosphere:Victor Frankenstein: I’ve created life but I refuse to put any effort into helping that life develop. I won’t teach him, love him, or defend him even though I forced him into existence with a fully operational adult brain lol. Peace, bitch.The Monster: Am Eloquent BabyBoomers: He’S NOt thE ViCtIM, HE’s tHe MOnsTErAn ironic parallel considering the idea of “tough love” parenting that plenty of boomers like to use. If they buy into the idea that their kids just have to toughen up and face the real world without guidance or emotional support, I’m sure it does scare them to read a story where someone who wasn’t given any support began to resent their creator and turn on them. it’s like that post that’s like ‘knowledge is knowing that frankenstein is the doctor; wisdom is knowing that frankenstein is the monster’. like the whole point of the post is that frankenstein’s monster is a victim of viktor frankenstein’s own monstrosity.mary shelley did not lose her virginity on her mother’s grave just for people to misunderstand her best known work over a century later.Great post everybody -- source link
