The Hero of Twilight and his very tall wife

[can-of-w0rmz]

The greatest tragedy of our generation is that we’ve convinced ourselves that the only love we need and the only love that can be of any real intensity or importance is romantic or sexual love. Non-sexual and non-romantic love and devotion is treated like a fairytale coverup, and therefore all relationships between ourselves that mean anything must be inclosed in eroticism, smothered and destroyed if that was never what they were ever supposed to be.

Friendship, mentorship, religion, protection, leadership — the love between, to and from all members of these dynamics — and much more are diminished in the face of our lust and possession. We are told that we must either be involved in romantic connection or be alone, marry or die alone. Any affection is indicative of romantic or sexual attraction. We have destroyed community, and corrupted Love. Romantic and sexual relationships are beautiful and often born from other dynamics, but we have taken the natural development of the erotic and turned it into a cage, locking ourselves inside of it and wondering why we’re all so lonely. We view historical relationships through this lense, laughing at people from the past and their ‘ignorance’, an Enlightenment-fuelled display, dripping of irony.

All along, we are ignorant. We have defined ourselves by eroticism, condemned and destroyed any form of love that can not be packed neatly away behind walls, and then puzzle ourselves, confused, when our society is run by self involvement and cruelty.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

a formal complaint from a deeply wronged reader

Spoilers under the cut

“Mary Shelley was only 18 when she wrote this, cut her some slack!” No. I’ve seen 12-year-olds on Wattpad write more compelling protagonists than Victor Frankenstein. She doesn’t have an excuse.

So let’s talk. Let’s beef.

First of all: The protagonist. The fucking protagonist.

I hate Victor Frankenstein with every molecule in my being. For several reasons! Those being:

He’s a whiny, pathetic little loser.

He’s a whiny, pathetic little loser.

He’s a whiny, pathetic little loser.

Oh, and did I mention? He’s a whiny, pathetic little loser.

I don’t even remember half the damn book because his narration is just so. Damn. Boring. Whiny. Whine whine whine—that’s ALL HE EVER DOES.

This bitch stitched together a humanoid corpse and gave it LIFE. And you're telling me instead of saying, “It’s alive! It’s alive! It’s alive!” like any normal scientist, he thinks:

“Ew. Ugly. Maybe if I go to sleep it’ll get out of my house.”

Bitch what??????????

Any real scientist would’ve LOST THEIR MIND over reanimating even one single cell. Let alone a full-grown humanoid creature. They’d be publishing their findings. Running tests. Contemplating the future of humanity.

But NOOOOOOO. Victor Frankenstein isn’t like the other scientists 🙄 He’s too busy being offended his creature doesn’t look like a Calvin Klein model.

Second: The writing.

My edition was 276 pages. I skipped nearly 100 of them. And missed ZERO important plot beats. Why? Because it was just endless poetic simping for the fucking Alps. Like sir. The mountains are PRETTY. We GET IT. SHUT UP.

Like yeah, "the standards were different back then" or whatever but Jane Austen wrote the masterpiece known as Pride and Prejudice in the year 1796 and Mary Shelley wrote her garbage in 1816 so clearly its NOT A STANDARDS THING. IT'S JUST BAD WRITING.

Edit: '100 pages' is a hyperbole. I did not, in fact skip 100 pages. Only like 70.

Third: The plot holes.

Let’s talk about the Justine Moritz case.

Justine, loyal servant for YEARS. Never stole. Never lied. A literal saint. She’s found with a necklace and that’s all it takes to convict her???

SHE COULD’VE SAID:

“He gave it to me so it wouldn’t get dirty while he played.”

BAM. Charges dropped. Case closed.

And VICTOR. FUCKING. KNEW. He knew Justine was innocent. He knew the creature did it. He said NOTHING.

He could’ve told the authorities. They could’ve gone after the creature.

You really think one (1) chonky guy stitched from dead people could defeat 20 armed officers??? They could’ve stopped him. Captured him. Killed him. Or studied him (LIKE VICTOR SHOULD'VE BEEN DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE)

But NOOOOOOOO, Victor "whiny, pathetic little loser" Frankenstein went was like:

Victor was like:

“Ugh… if I tell anyone… people might be disappointed in me… 🥺”

SIR. GET A FUCKING GRIP.

Your family is literally the sweetest, most forgiving, loving group of people in Europe.

They’d be like:

“Oh Victor… poor thing… have some soup and rest your head…”

Fourth: The wedding night scene.

Victor is???? So fucking stupid????

The creature tells him:

“I will be with you on your wedding night.”

And Victor thinks:

“Oh no 😰 he’s going to kill me 😖”

HELLO??? Let’s review:

He killed your little brother.

He framed and got your family’s servant executed.

He murdered your best friend.

AND YOU THINK YOU’RE NEXT????

He told you he was going to ruin your life. You FORGOT your wife is part of your life???

Bitch just stood around on his honeymoon with a pistol while Elizabeth got brutally murdered upstairs.

No thoughts in that head of his.

Fifth: Victor's weird sense of Morality™

The creature LITERALLY offers a clean deal:

“Make me a wife. I’ll leave. Forever. No contact, no humans, no murder. Bye.”

It’s EXACTLY what Victor wants.

But does he do it? Of course not! Because:

“OMG 😱 what if they spawn children 😱😱😱”

SIR. YOU BUILT HIM FROM CORPSES. You can make her WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. YOU COULD GIVE HER AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DIGESTIVE TRACT IF YOU WANTED.

OR, YK. JUST PERFORM A TUBECTOMY???????

Sixth: Victor’s health.

GOD does this man faint. In the whole book Victor must have fainted like, 40 times. This isn't even an exaggeration. In a word count of like 75k, Victor Frankenstein faints nearly FORTY. FUCKING. TIMES. And the number of times he GETS SICK?????? HELLO?????????? We need to stop analyzing this as a gothic moral epic and start figuring out what fucking ailment Victor had because it CANNOT be normal to pass out so often from your own feelings.

Edit: It's been pointed out to me that he does not, in fact, faint forty times; only three times. Which makes things marginally better. Still not off the hook, but better.

Seventh: The horror factor.

Surprise! There isn't one.

No tension. No suspense. No fear.

The scariest thing about this book is how preventable every single plot point is.

The monster? He could’ve been terrifying. He should’ve been terrifying. But no! Instead we get:

Emotional monologues.

Paradise Lost quotes.

“Nobody understands me” speeches.

Frankenstein’s creature walked so all the ✨dark, mysterious, tortured, misunderstood hot boys✨ in YA romance could sprint through the fog in slow motion with a violin score playing in the background.

I went into this book with such high hopes. Gothic sci-fi pioneer! A literary milestone! Written by someone our age!

FUCKKKKKK
