The problem with Victor Frankenstein isn't that he's not as smart as he thinks he is. The problem with Victor Frankenstein is that he's exactly as smart as he thinks he is in one very specific area, and he just expects that to automatically translate to every other area of his life and is taken completely by surprise every single time it doesn't.

Reading Frankenstein and we got to the part where "the creature" is created - always a good time bc Victor's immediate response to seeing his work come to fruition is "Oh. ..............Gross." and then he takes a nap.
Then of course when the creature wakes him up he flips out and runs away, which my students were Not Pleased With. (Because of Walton's desperate desire for a friend at the beginning of the book, many students have spent the first few chapters under the misapprehension that Victor is making himself a friend, quote, "Build-a-Bear Style" and finding out how badly he's quote, "mistreating his baby boy" is very upsetting for them).
So then in a fugue state "Vicky Frank" (another nickname from my students) just HAPPENS UPON his BFF Clerval, who is so very happy to see him, and Victor switches instantly into host mode:
Tumblr media
Student1: YEAH MAN, I DON'T KNOW WHY HE WOULDN'T BE WHERE YOU LEFT HIM, HE IS A LITERAL 8 FOOT TALL CHILD
Student2: He didn't even babyproof his HOUSE! D:
But the part I wanted to talk about is actually this moment that I'd never noticed before, after VFrank gets Clerval inside his (miraculously) monster-free house, IS THIS:
Tumblr media
I'M SORRY??????
HEY VICTOR??????
THE WHAT???????

hey guess whoā€™s absolutely losing it over the stan twins again (spoiler alert its me)
so i was innocently scrolling tiktok when i was introduced to this DIABOLICAL au idea: firstly, what if ford really had shot stan with his crossbow when stan first showed up at the shack? and secondly, what if ford tried to bring him back to life frankenstein-style? (full credit to tiktok user @44boora for this idea, go check their account for some gut-wrenching art) (alsoā€¦ full post below the cut this got long)
but like i was thinking about this, ford bringing stan back to life specifically, and how dependent the concept is on this specific time in his life. i just feel like any other time and under any other circumstance, ford would have been able to, eventually, accept stanā€™s death. we see it at the end of weirdmageddon, where ford is ready to accept that the stan they all know and love is gone now that his memory has been erased. he tells mabel as much, and only realizes thereā€™s hope for him when mabel is determined enough to push back against fordā€™s logic. ford believes very intensely in his own perception of the world. he believes in science. theoretically, he believes death is death, and thereā€™s nothing he can do to change that.
but then, think of ford after heā€™s been betrayed by bill. this ford is at his absolute lowest. he canā€™t trust his own perception of the world anymore. heā€™s seen the truth of what their relationship was and the horrors he was so close to unleashing on their universe. he is desperate to right his wrongs. heā€™s losing sleep, his body is abused every time he closes his eyes, and the end of the world as he knows it is iminent if he doesnā€™t succeed in making the portal as secure and unusable as possible without dismantling it entirely. the only person he believes he can trust after everything thatā€™s happened is stan. so he contacts him for help, and in his time waiting for him to arrive, cannot stop thinking of the worst-case scenario: that bill could still be coming for him. so when he opens the door to stan, his high-strung, paranoid brain doesnā€™t see stan, and he shoots.
he shoots his own brother with a crossbow and kills him.
ford is not usually one to blatantly ignore a scientific fact. again, death is death, and thereā€™s nothing he can do about that. and yet, in a state of such intense grief, when his entire world is already close to crumbling around him and heā€™s holding his dead brother in his arms, thereā€™s nothing else he can feasibly do but deny. so he does.
he lives in denial of a lot of things. that stanā€™s death is final, obviously, but also his reasonings for attempting to do the impossible and revive him. ford likes to believe he operates purely on logic, so he tells himself heā€™s doing this because he has to. without stan, he canā€™t prevent bill from entering their universe. heā€™s still the only person ford can trust, so reviving him is another step in his ultimate goal of stopping bill and saving the world. it doesnā€™t matter that its never been done before, ford will do it anyway. and he believes that he can, because as much as he thinks heā€™s moved on from his hubris, heā€™s still acting off the assumption that heā€™s special. heā€™s so far ahead of everybody else, so naturally, if anybody could accomplish the impossible and bring stan back from the dead, its ford.
and so he denies that the real reason heā€™s trying to save stan is not a logical one. he denies that heā€™s running entirely on emotions. it would be foolish to try something so risky and impossible and time-consuming if he were only doing it because of his crushing guilt and decade-long yearning, so he tells himself thereā€™s so much more to it than that. he canā€™t just be doing this because he loves him, right? heā€™s not that shallow. heā€™s not that desperate.
and yet, he is. because as much as ford wants to deny it, he canā€™t live without stan. he canā€™t live with the knowledge that he was responsible for stanā€™s death. if he didnā€™t succeed, his grief would surely kill him.

walton is a stronger man than me because if i found the man who was the culmination of my lifelong dreams of true connection and everything i could possibly want in a friend, who talked to me about my interests at length and encouraged me and told me i would be successful in my endeavors, who wept for me after i confided my deepest desires and ambitions to him, who used the language of my heart, who sympathized with and loved me, and who told me all of his greatest flaws and mistakes and his harrowing several-hundred-pages long life story including the murders of his entire family, upon which i treated him with nothing but understanding and kindness and would do anything to return him to happiness and shoulder his woes, all while tenderly nursing back him from the brink of death while expecting nothing in return, even despite my growing concerns of a mutiny going on, and after all this he told me "I thank you, Walton [...] but think you that any can replace those who are gone? Can any man be to me as Clerval was?" i would just walk off the boat
