I mean... Mary Shelley was... 16? when she wrote Frankenstein. So she's the first Tumblr girl, really

She was imagining Lord Byron, who was her and her husband’s boyfriend at the time

I picture him as so perfect he gives uncanny valley. Unearthly beauty. Except for his eyes. They're still gorgeous, but the color, no matter what it is, is utterly inhuman

Know why he’s so green? The actor wore green makeup because it looked right in black and white, and the artist making the (color) movie poster misunderstood.

Jacob Elordi is PERFECT for this tbh bc he is objectively handsome, beautiful even, but there is something "off" about him

I’ve always understood it as every part individually was beautiful. But together it became repulsive

As someone with a degree in English. Yes she was. She was a freak and I love her so much for it

No, he was made of beautiful parts, but all together they were unsettling and grotesque, and his eyes with life behind them terrified Victor. Part of it is about the anxiety of creation

The Illustrated Man :
It wasn’t that the monster was beautiful, it was every single piece that Frankenstein used was beautiful all together it created a monstrosity everyone was afraid of

so what you're saying is the bolts are kinda like handlebars in a roundabout way? 🤔

and while we're on the subject- Mr. Hyde was also never described as ugly or deformed he just kinda had bad vibes. American media just has a long history of associating villainy with disability.

During the time she wrote the book scientists were trying to reanimate rodents and raccoons with electrical probes in their behinds. 😬

my teacher said that the explanation for the book never telling how he's created is because Frankenstein didn't want anyone knowing how to make another one, because he's terrified of his creation

It's been a minute since I've read the books but didn't Frankenstein pick the best body parts? So his creation would have been a mega hunk who was likely mega hung?

bro I just read that book for AP Lit, you're wrong, sorry😭😭 she described him to be horrifying, the only part where "beautiful" was mentioned was when Victor was going crazy putting him together

If memory serves she said she couldnt/wouldnt tell how it was done, I took that to mean you cant try this at home if I dont tell you how.

Are you referring to the “I ought to be thy Adam” I’m confused

Jacob Hawkins :
Did we read the same book? Because I remember the monster hiding and everyone being terrified of his visage. I also found it incredibly boring so I might not have paid attention
