Frankenstein Or The Modern Prometheus - Tumblr Posts
If Clerval heard Victor screaming from inside his “lab” he’d lean against the door and go “hey whatever it is did you forget to plug it in”, but if Utterson heard Jekyll screaming from his laboratory he’d start knocking on the door VERY LOUDLY and wouldn’t stop until Jekyll let him in, and honestly that’s beautiful.
Doodling creech while I read Frankenstein
I'm so normal about Adam guys💚
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.
"Have my murderous machinations deprived you also, my dearest Henry, of life?"
-Victor Frankenstein while trying to prove he hasn't killed this man
Well
My beloved Henry died
nobody: literally nobody: me: ... and this is why victor was a teen mom my therapist:
Shush, im weak
Im not ok
So, its canon that Henry loved all these love stories and fairy tales
Its also canon that he made Victor act with him in his plays
So, like, do you think they kissed when they were kids? Like, "ho princess, i will wake you up *kiss*" "my prince, lets get married!" ?
Idk, i kinda feel like it happened
Rip Henry Clerval, you would've loved
Victor Frankenstein: yeah, if the world is gonna remember my story, please remember it correctly :)
Literally almost all of the films: HE WAS A FUCKING PSICHOPATH AND HENRY WAS HIS BROTHER AND HIS FATHER WAS AN ASSHOLE AND HE DIDNT HAVE ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND HE TRIED TO BRING BACK HIS BROTHER AND THE CREATUR CALLED PROMETHEUS BECAUSE WE DONT UNDERSTAND METHAPHORS NOR KNOW HOW IS PROMETHEUS AND-
