#FRANKENSTEINNNNN

[urbestestwindgod]

please infodumps about Frankstein or any other thing you want to yap about. I'll be glad to listen

AHHH warning i blabbered this together and i do NOT think ti even makes sense but i was speaking from my hesrt abd i have a very irregular heart beat a lot of the time

okok so this is my theory on the symbolism of the creature’s eyes in frankenstein—so basically victor makes this huge monster out of corpses he stitched together and animates it—which is unnatural and selfish since he is a college dropout who could never care for a GIANT NEWBORN and the monster himself is very handsome but hes still corpse so hes roly uncanny and when he opens his eyes victor becomes so scared and ill he abandons the creature and has to be nursed back to health by his friend henry clerval, and my theory is that since eyes are the window to the soul victor saw the monstrosity in them—BUT NOT JUST THAT, so the book itself is a metaphor for child bearing and a vent about her parents in a way and her own fears with having children (spending months killing yourself and neglecting yourself for the sake of creating life only to be horrified and disgusted and scared of it and then neglecting the life you made to the point where it hates you) and i think that maybe possibly perchance because this is basically victors child that he made that when the creature opened its eyes victor saw his own soul reflected (the creature was just born, and he wasnt bad by nature he was made that way by being mistreated. he was innocent as all life is at birth) and victor isnt a very nice guy, he is selfish and immature and irresponsible and impulsive and destructive, he makes himself and his loved ones suffer for his hubris, and hes a mad scientist or whatever so i think he saw his own soul reflected back to him in his creature’s eyes and thats what scared him—he wasnt just running away from a monster he was running away from the possible culmination of all his worst traits, a child he birthed and raised under all his flaws who comes back with revenge strong as victor built him. i think thats a common fear with women—having a baby and suffering nine months and a torturous birth only to be an awful and flawed parent and raise (even through neglect) a child thats all your strengths and weaknesses and wits with an added hatred and revenge for you. also frankenstein was the book that lighter a baby fever fire in my heart that my infertile body could never douse and thats why i think the baby symbolism is so important to me

AND THIS ISNT EVEN TOUCHING ONT GE GREEK MYTHOS AND BIBLICAL REFERENCES AND THEMES AND AND AND

definitely already said it but frankenstein was the purest articulation of artistry in that the creature was stitched together by dead things and i think all people are things stitched together from a multitude of other things and i think a person can be a graveyard. in a good way and a bad way. and i think the fear of it was the inherent fear of the unknown and the fear that in knowing one must be responsible. that in holding my childs hand i promise myself that if it must come to it that i will hold their body in my arms. in living with you i have already known you dead. and ive already shaved off a piece of me ( a little death) to stitch onto you. so you can carry you forward. oh you want your drink back. yeah i gotchu
