Facebook Aunt posted:Yes. The thesis here is that only perfect angelic paragons of virtue can be real victims. Once you do something wrong you become a perpetrator, and no one can be both a victim and a perpetrator. But what about self-abuse?

The Monster is both victim and villain. The same as his creator. There is a duality to the character that makes him so endearing and enduring

So the conceit of both of these articles is "Millenials are bad because they read the original book instead of just watching the movie"?

In the book he could function properly, he just was despised for not being right! In the movies he's literally mentally ill and underdeveloped and is WAY more of a victim

Burkion posted:*EVEN THE MOVIES HAVE HIM BE SYMPATHETIC* I think the movies also had him much more deformed. I recall in the book the Creature did not look that monstrous until he started moving. Terry Practhett and the game Arcanum might be the only two instances of media that remembers this. In the former, the igor race like to replace their body parts with better ones from dead bodies; the men look deformed but the women are beautiful. In Arcanum, you can chose to play a Frankenstein creature where you get a massive bonus to charisma but with an equally massive penalty to dexterity, and can only speak like you have low intelligence.

The MSJ posted:I think the movies also had him much more deformed. I recall in the book the Creature did not look that monstrous until he started moving. The whole deal with the Creature in the book was that he LOOKED fine. Frankenstein was a good doctor, he knew how to put someone together, and how the body was constructed was kept as vague as possible. The problem was that, yeah, the way the Creature moved and especially the way his eyes looked were just Wrong. They were not human. They were off. That's what betrayed the Creature as a thing set apart from man

It's been a long long time since I've read the book but im pretty sure he still looked obviously monstrous in skin tone and such.

http://www.authorama.com/frankenstein-9.htmlquote:His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips. I've dated worse.

The whole point is that he starts out a blank slate and no one bothers to teach him how to be. You presumably had parents and friends and such. Literally everyone he trusts turns on him. His first experience is his own creator turning away in horror.
