>>96015485I tried reading Frankenstein and I had to stop because I fucking hated Victor Frankenstein so much.
He discovers the secret of bestowing life on inanimate matter and keeps it to himself, then spends two years neglecting his friends and family to throw together a dude in his attic. He does a shitty job and the man he creates looks weird, all goth lips and translucent skin (but gorgeous silky black hair for some reason) and does terrifying things like seeking his attention and smiling pleasantly. Victor runs away from it and leaves the house to hang out with his friend, when they go back to his house his thought is "oh man he'll see that dude I made and it'll get awkward" but he comes back to find out that his creation is gone and he literally goes "fuck yes problem solved" without any regard for what sort of shenanigans his creation might get up to.
Then when his creation seeks revenge for being created without ever asking to be by killing Victor's brother and framing his family friend, he says nothing to exonerate her because "oh they wouldn't believe me" and just lets her be executed.
Then the creature asks Victor to make him a waifu so they can fuck off to South America together and at least have someone to share existence with and does it but pussies out again because he doesn't want to make an entire race of people who look kinda weird but are incredibly intelligent, passionate, and articulate.
Victor Frankenstein is an asshole. He's the worst mad scientist ever.
The moral of the story is not "don't play God," it's "take some fucking responsibility for your actions."
