I dont care what the elitists and snobs think the first twenty one pilots album was a masterpiece and just because the emo kids loved it doesn't mean it was bad maybe they loved it for a reason

Of course this is coming from an emo kid myself so maybe I'm part of the problem

“I am living out my life in my corner, taunting myself with the spiteful and useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot become anything seriously, and it is only the fool who becomes anything.”

I've talked a bit about this before: I LOVE how in Frankenstein, Shelley had the perfect excuse to make an allusion to the Bible and genisis, and instead she chose Paradise Lost. Creature connects to a story about what a creation did rather than how someone made them, because the life matters more to him than the birth; in telling his own story, he brushes past his "origin" in less than a page.

By that choice, Shelley emphasizes the theme that what mankind creates matters less than how we respond to it.
