#such a secret can only be shared after the binding sanctity of a new marriage

the creature as victor's wife in the attic. do you see my vision
#bertha rending the veil in two the night before the wedding / the creature's promise that he will be with victor on his wedding night#both existing less as people and more as spectral entities that haunt rochester and victor#which they can not divulge lest they be completely cast out of human society (even if they no longer *truly* belong to it anyway)#such a secret can only be shared after the binding sanctity of a new marriage#and of course where these threads diverge through the inverse weddings—with the completion of one leading to the bride’s death#(marking the point of no return for the tragedy of frankenstein)#vs. the termination of the other and subsequent escape of the bride (+ the necessity of such a thing for her eventual happy ending)#etc etc#don't get me wrong—everyone who analyzes victor as the creature's mother and the postpartum depression of the narrative is so correct#but I always have to bring everything back to jane eyre. it's my nature <3#📘.txt#lit tag#frankenstein#jane eyre
