How is it not a tale of technology gone awry? There are parts in the beginning that literally compare Victor to icarus flying too close to the sun as he makes the monster

this

Im really getting sick of functionally illiterate people needing to have 'hot takes' on shit they don't understand

>>14271740
yes, thats the point of OP I suppose

>>14272398
You thought "x" was about "y"? Think again. It was actually about "-y"!

>>14271734
Yes, a lot of people forget that the full title refers to Prometheus, Doc F was a hero bringing the literal power of life to humanity fucking plebs ruin everything basically

>>14271734
I hope you guys didn't misinterpret Dracula either!

>>14272440
Yikes, it looks like nobody knows that Dracula is actually about both the fear of and empowerment by technology.

How much better would the world be if every regular Twitter user died right now

>>14271734
Frankenstein's monster is not the name of the tale... hypercorrecting idiot.

>>14271740
The whole story is Victor pussying out. His inability to continue the technology is what pushes the monster's Incel rage over the edge.

thought it was just (((anglo))) anti-irish/catholic propaganda, which joyce btfo'd

the real issue here is that people are trying to read into a novel written by a woman. she was clearly just writing about a scary monster, as the depth of her female intellect would allow.

this is easily the lowest quality bait I've seen all day

0/7

>Implying she actually wrote it

>>14271734
That's, whatchamacallit, "mansplaining", right?

>>14273894
>bait

>>14273894
yet you bit it

>>14273810
It's anti-slavic/Balkan, you're thinking of Serpent's Pass.

>>14273952
man's gotta eat, what can I say

>>14273958
>Serpent's
Snake's* whoops

>>14271740
there is a motif of man not being great enough to deal with being God, or even a father, but I don't think him flying too close to the literally meant building the machine as much as it did creating life. the monster was really a good guy, the tech worked better than Victor could have hoped

>>14273958
>>14273968
in my mind dracula must be the good guy because bram stoker is such a cucked faggot

>>14273996
>too close to the literally
too close to the sun literally

>>14271734
i thought the book was about the loneliness in modern society, not about technology

>>14273818
>he doesn't know that it was the other Shelley who wrote it, releasing it under his wife's name

>>14274046
Idiot meme.

>>14271734
>He was totally chill until everyone started hating on him.
I think "the very hungry caterpillar" might be more your speed, friend.

>>14271734
Frankenstein's monster killed a child

>>14273801
Priscilla's right about the monster being a victim though. He really did suffer from Victor's hubris; he was made wrong and could never fit into the world all because Victor had to prove that he could create life. In that sense he is also technically misunderstood, but that's a little shakier.

>>14274405
did you actually read the book?
oh yeah i forgot this is /lit/, of course you haven't

>>14274505
you might as well be a gaycock sucker if you're reading books by chicks.

>>14272432
This is the schema for becoming a rockstar academic or public intellectual.

>>14274046
I have seen absolutely no evidence for this however, I will sincerely internalise it purely on the basis of my interactions with women and I will probably periodically bring it up when the opportunity arises, much to the charging of everyone in the room. I don’t even care at this point lmao

>>14274511
retards like you are why this board is shit. please go kill yourself
