Fronk-in-steen

I can't decide who to feel worse for, the monster or Victor Frankenstein. Either way, their lives kind of stink. The monster has nobody and neither does his creator. I think that they are more of doubles rather than creator vs creation. God made people out of his own image but he is WAYYY different from people. Essentially Frankenstein and his monster are really the same thing; both human. They both have human feelings and human cravings. In fact, they usually have the same human cravings at the same time. At the exact time that the Victor was going to have Elizabeth, the monster wanted a mate of his own. Tricky, tricky... I actually have a theory that their was never any monster at all. That is just Frankenstein's own view of himself. I believed he killed those people with his "bad side." Would you notice the innocence of his victims? William and Henry. Both innocent, both well to do. Perhaps they were murdered because of jealousy. Victor feel so tormented by both sides of himself. His good side is tormented because it allowed a bad side to be created; a monster growing from his own mind. As far as the De Lacey's go, that could have been a warped version of a story from his school days. Frankenstein always discusses how his childhood was not typical or enjoyable. He did not get along with most of the people he went to school with and who knows what he did to cope with it. Notice the ties between them learning. The monster is learning when he is with the De Lacey's and Frankenstein was learning at school. Blind prophets? Highly unlikely. He probably tried to make friends with the nerd at school and was still turned down. I think he's mad. Schizophrenic maybe, if we're lucky. I mean how likely is it that some dude figured out a way to make this man, a divine creation, IN HIS APARTMENT, like 50 years ago? UNLIKELY. More likely: he's nuts! Plus, who has seen this monster? other than the isolated de lacey's? NOBODY. He's not that smart, if a giant corpse man was walking around, people would notice. IT WOULD BE KNOWN ABOUt. I personally think, the monster and frankenstein are going to die together. Wouldn't that be odd? would the monster kill himself if the creator killed himself? their the same person so they would die together anyway... im rambling but im really excited because christmas is coming... frankenstein is pretty good. i like the idea. wayyyy better than grendel :)
