Henry Clerval - Tumblr Posts
Fuck ur zodiac sign, when you hear ‘henry’ do you think Clerval, Wotton, or Jekyll?
Rip Henry Clerval ik you would’ve loved Duolingo
OOH OOH lemme take this a step further, if I may.
By definition, in this case and in a case I came up with in my head, what it means to be human is to want to learn/discover, to want others to care about you, and to have done some things that classify as, for lack of a better word, bad.
So what does that make Henry Clerval? Or Elizabeth Lavenza? Or Justine Moritz? Even Alphonse, William, Ernest, and Caroline? They all qualify for the second requirement, and some of them, as we know, the first. But on the spot, what do they do that’s ethically bad? What makes them inherently human?
Perhaps it’s that they also faced consequences (good or bad) for their actions, and that can be a replacement for doing something ‘bad’. Because maybe that’s what makes these characters human, that they all face consequences. That’s something everyone in the book (as far as I can think of on the spot) can find in similarity.
“victor frankenstein was the REAL monster” is such a boring take. uncreative. uninspired. been repeated like five million times over the last 200 years. it’s such a surface-level reading of the story that is only surprising to a high school freshman just now starting to figure out that, sometimes, people bad. hit me with something new, fresh, exciting. take grey morality into account. realize that bad origins do not excuse knowingly committing monstrous actions like murder, and mistakes do not nullify attempts to rectify them.
frankenstein and his creation are both a little monstrous. neither of them is wholly good - neither of them is wholly evil. ultimately, that’s what being human is all about, is it not?
Original sentence here
Victor: this place WISHES it was Geneva
Henry: I wish THIS was Geneva
Victor: no
Okay I love Henry with my entire heart but I do have one major criticism
He has a bad taste in mountains
Like when they pass through the Lake District in England and he says "I could pass my life here and not miss the mountains and lakes of Geneva"
Are you telling me he'd exchange this
For these molehills?
Like sorry but
Flat, boring
Stunning, amazing, so high you can nearly see the curvature of the Earth
Even Victor agrees it's just discount Geneva
no hot takes, as usual, but I thought everyone should know that I love Henry Clerval
🎵Elizabeth’s reaction to Justine’s death parallels Victor’s reaction to Henry’s death🎵
Chapter Five-
Victor to the Creation: Woah! That tall child looks terrible!
Henry to Victor: Get some rest! You can’t keep burning the candle at both ends!
Straight friend group: blonde girl, chad, brunette, the funny one
Gay friend group: servant girl wrongly accused of murder, science twink, boy with duolingo obsession, elizabeth lavenza
Tell him, Henry!!!!
Henry Clerval: Can I ask about the skull in your room?
Victor Frankenstein: Sure, which one?
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.
You ever think about how all the events of Frankenstein are the fault of Henry Clerval’s dad? like if he had just let Henry go to college with Victor when he first went rather than delay for years, they would have been so busy fucking in that dorm room that Victor would have had no time to commit crimes against nature and build the creature,
