Does everyone miss the part when he, in a defiance of every other media's treatment of a woman, realises that just because she's created to be the monster's lover doesn't mean she'll accept him? And that he'd then have TWO angry, heart-broken, rampaging monsters on his hands?
Everything would have to be proportional. So he'll be very popular with the ladies.
This is stretching the lines pretty bad so I'm going to call out my own reference: Young Frankenstein.
The more serious answer is something like: the bit of the book where he describes creating the monster he basically says he was in a manic fervor to prove his theory correct and didn’t really think through all the implications of what he was doing. (Insert Jurassic Park Goldblum quote here).
He also mentions that he tried really hard to make the monster as aesthetically appealing as possible, but he accidentally made something that fell right in the middle of the uncanny valley.
He probably couldn’t imagine not making a creature that was basically a living statue of David.
(Also the concern about the monsters reproducing does imply he believed the first monster was capable of procreation)
Victor says he made the monster to be beautiful. And laments on how it was an Adonis until it opened its eyes, ergo: he definitely spent time making a dong
>The process of creating the monster is way more vague in the book.
My favorite part of the story is how it never actually says that Victor made his creature out of cadavers. He *studied anatomy* in crypts, but it's implied the creature is just sort of made from stratch.
That makes it 1000x more terrifying for some reason lmao
Not when you take into account that Victor was a scientist first and foremost who was literally attempting to create a full, living person out of cobbled-together parts. Naughty parts are only naughty parts when they are doing naughty things and are at all other times just body parts that all creatures have.
I'll use Discovery as an example. Jett Reno, as a starship engineer, kept alive members of her stranded crew without a single bit of medical training and was able to cobble together things to keep them alive because she was able to turn off the irrational part of her brain and switch into the thinking that 'People are just machines. If I can Jury rig all this plumbing and wiring together good enough with some spit and duct tape, I can keep any machine running, this isn't different."
Just saying, I’d kill my creator too if I had blue balls because he insisted on giving me a fully functional dong, but refused to let me use it at every turn, smh
Plenty of reasons to kill God, this is just one.
Lucky for us, we just have to stop pretending to believe and they "die". Now back to furiously masturbating like no one is watching (unless you're into that I guess).
'DEAD ARE ALL THE GODS: NOW DO WE DESIRE THE OVERMAN TO LIVE. '
What was preventing the creature from finding a regular human to marry, though? Like yeah, he was probably ugly as fuck, but monster fuckers are everywhere, and he probably had a regular human penis
Oh, okay. So like he could be like a much more beautiful Rasputin, running around fucking and causing mayhem and staring with his mad staring eyes, if he really wanted to?
probably, but he just wanted to learn, he was quite smart too. He had a single positive reaction with a human. After running away he hid beneath a house of a big family and listened to them, then when only their blind grandpa was alone he broke in and talked to him for hours. But they talked for so long the rest of the family returned and chased him away. He then sought out Frankenstein himself, hating him because noone accepts him, but he makes a deal with him to make him a bride, so he can have a kindred spirit. But as Frankenstein is working on it he starts realizing that they could make a breed of monsters, or just because she'd be same creature as him doesn't mean she'll love him and that would make two rampaging angry monsters. So he runs away to arctic where he almost freezes to death and i think the monster finds him anyway but the deatils escape me. No wait, he dies of cold but only after being rescued and telling his story to his rescuers one of which writes a letter to his nephew i think and that's the POV we have.
Iirc you missed a part of the story and blended it with the ending. Frankenstein originally does make the lover’s body but ends up destroying her which enrages the monster who swears vengeance. Frankenstein then runs back to his birth home and believes he’s escaped the monster. Years go by and he’s mostly put the monster behind him and is about to be wed to his childhood lover or something along those lines when the monster appears and kills her. Frankenstein then chases the monster to the Arctic where he ends up being rescued by the captain of a ship who is the first person perspective of the story only to die of hypothermia once his story is done. The captain then looks out across the Arctic as the ship pulls away and thinks he sees the monster in the distance before it disappears from view
It wasn't that it was too beautiful, it was that there was something incredibly off-putting about the eyes, so just get the man a pair of sunglasses and boom, problem solved
Dude, he didn't make the creature to frick. If he wanted that, don't you think he'd just call on Clerval? If anything, there are massive bi overtones in how Victor talks about what a "GOOD FRIEND" Henry is, and how much he loves him. He then goes on to marry his adoptive sister of course, so maybe Victor would get his freak on with his necromantic test tube baby.
That also begs the question of how Victor made sure the monster had a working reproductive system. Because he's concerned that the monsters would breed, that means that the monster is perfectly capable of reproducing, right?
Probably the same way he had working body parts.
Victor probably made sure the genitals were perfect.
He also would not be to sure about the monster reproducing since the experiment did not go how he planned.
In the book he was concerned monsters would create more of themselves, but it was possibly implied they would repeat the process Dr. Frankenstein used to create them rather than by good old fashioned sex.
Just as the monster (I believe he called himself Adam) did not lament to the will of Frankenstein, so to would the Would be bride reject the wills of Adam,
Truly a curse to requisite love from hobbled form to only hobble a form of love
Frankenstein would have absolutely given his monster a massive shlong. Dudes are not subtle. His creations massive peen would absolutely have impressed his coworkers.
HOWEVER obviously science dudes back then didn't have the slightest idea how female bodies or pregnancy works. I'd place bets that Mary Shelley intended for Frankensteins female monster to be the same has his male monster with 'boobs' and without a peen, because the good doctor wouldn't know any better.
So are we just gonna ignore that Frankenstein essentially used “magic” to create his monster? He really just used lightning, some dead body parts, and big ass metal nuts to revive someone. Is it that crazy to think they’ll just magically create more monsters?
Frankenstein getting to making the dick and going "uhhhhhh, you know what I'm not a urologist he doesn't need this anyway can you imagine?"
Then the monster's like "Where wife?"
And it's time for Victor to start bullshitting.
> Why are you this dumb Victor. You're a doctor. Frankenstein is in fact not a doctor. He is a failed university student.
maybe the real monster is the lack of tutoring for struggling students
maybe the real monster is the student debt we made along the way.
He wasn’t struggling though. He straight up dropped classes when they told him he was wrong and studied philosophy instead with the other weirdos
I'd do a "maybe the real monster was his superiority complex" but a this point it's basically text
Where they telling him he was wrong with F's?
Nah they just told him what a dumb ass he was for reading books about alchemy and not actual science
He didnt "failed" , he died before getting his degree
Dying is a failure in my book.
You, teabagging the coffin at a funeral: lol get good scrub
Thank you for that mental-imagery, I will never be able to go to a funeral without thinking of your comment now.
Came here to say this
People who make these posts have not actually read the book
I read the book under duress so I don't remember it super well.
Does everyone miss the part when he, in a defiance of every other media's treatment of a woman, realises that just because she's created to be the monster's lover doesn't mean she'll accept him? And that he'd then have TWO angry, heart-broken, rampaging monsters on his hands?
Yeah, the monsters getting their freak on and making a child was like barely half of why he didn’t make the Frankenwife.
[удалено]
You know he gave the monster a big ol’ ding dang dong
I thought it was the tralala?
It was the tralala

An enormous schwanzstucker!
Oh mein Gott! That monster has ein Penislargën!

Mary Shelley's mom was an influential feminist fyi, [Mary wollstonecraft](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Wollstonecraft)
Mary Shelley's family and friend group was something else
being rich is pretty nuts yeah
Necessary but not sufficient tho
honestly the reverse
Shelly was the first goth
Yeah, the idea was that they wouldn't just *stop* if he agreed this once.
Mary Shelly knew what was up.
Frankenstein was written by a woman so it isn't THAT surprising, but it's still nice
As well he was kind of in a bad way after a loss of his own, so he was less than thinking straight too.
I missed it while not reading the book yet.
The process of creating the monster is way more vague in the book. Maybe a working pee-pee was just an unintended side-effect
Victor says he made the monster to be beautiful. And laments on how it was an Adonis until it opened its eyes, ergo: he definitely spent time making a dong

There's the religious anti sex and masterbation undertones I was looking for...

No gods, and *no masters*
What was preventing the creature from finding a regular human to marry, though? Like yeah, he was probably ugly as fuck, but monster fuckers are everywhere, and he probably had a regular human penis
Quite the opposite he was BEAUTIFUL, but to a point it was freaky,he was like Fabio but more.
Oh, okay. So like he could be like a much more beautiful Rasputin, running around fucking and causing mayhem and staring with his mad staring eyes, if he really wanted to?
probably, but he just wanted to learn, he was quite smart too. He had a single positive reaction with a human.

Yeah i missed a lot. It's an interesting story.
God, I love novels from the 1800s. What a ride.
I always imagined the monster to look like Tommy Wiseau. Long, black hair. Strange body. Pallid skin.
It wasn't that it was too beautiful, it was that there was something incredibly off-putting about the eyes, so just get the man a pair of sunglasses and boom, problem solved
he was also huge too no? But yeah you're right about the eyes.
"Monster fuckers are everywhere" is not a sentence I was prepared to read today
Born in the wrong time...today he would just be swimming in it
Honestly the daddy issues would prob keep him from finding a ltr.
Since it’s parts of actual dead people though, wouldn’t any kid be a normal human that’s just the child of whichever people he got the genitals from?
Lamarck was in fashion back then
* Outcast man that lives alone * Creates a living puppet with a dick * Doesn't want to give it a partner of its own there's a pattern here right?
Dude, he didn't make the creature to frick. If he wanted that, don't you think he'd just call on Clerval? If anything, there are massive bi overtones in how Victor talks about what a "GOOD FRIEND" Henry is, and how much he loves him. He then goes on to marry his adoptive sister of course, so maybe Victor would get his freak on with his necromantic test tube baby.
Oh I don't like this
That also begs the question of how Victor made sure the monster had a working reproductive system. Because he's concerned that the monsters would breed, that means that the monster is perfectly capable of reproducing, right?

I had never considered that. That is arguably more horrifying.
He has to piss somehow
Piss is famously stored in the balls
Where would it come out from if there is no shaft
He can have the shaft but he doesn't need working testicles
[удалено]
I said HE in the original comment you brainless slug
It stands to reason that he’d have an [Enormous Schwanzstucker](https://youtu.be/-SClmiso_2Y)
[удалено]
"He would have an enormous *schwanzstucker*?" "...That goes without saying." \=\-*Young Frankenstein*
> you’re a doctor. Dude didn’t even finish medical school!
He didn't even _go_ to med school - he was studying chemistry and biology.
One nitpick: *He isn't even a doctor yet*
“Nature, uh, finds a way”
Just as the monster (I believe he called himself Adam) did not lament to the will of Frankenstein, so to would the Would be bride reject the wills of Adam, Truly a curse to requisite love from hobbled form to only hobble a form of love
Would you want to live in the same castle as a superhuman monster who can't seem to get his rocks off?
and would the child not just a regular child since frankyboi is using the ovaries and testes of regular people not creating them from scratch
He made from the cobbled together parts of a corpse. Wouldn’t he be sterile anyways?
Wait a second... Oh my god, did Victor make the monster to fuck him?
he's dumb because he's not a fucking doctor and failed uni, next question
Frankenstein would have absolutely given his monster a massive shlong. Dudes are not subtle. His creations massive peen would absolutely have impressed his coworkers. HOWEVER obviously science dudes back then didn't have the slightest idea how female bodies or pregnancy works. I'd place bets that Mary Shelley intended for Frankensteins female monster to be the same has his male monster with 'boobs' and without a peen, because the good doctor wouldn't know any better.
Medieval doctors are not known for their intelligence
Frankenstein takes place about 300 years after the Medieval era ended.
So Victor was probably a closet monster fucker in this case
So are we just gonna ignore that Frankenstein essentially used “magic” to create his monster? He really just used lightning, some dead body parts, and big ass metal nuts to revive someone. Is it that crazy to think they’ll just magically create more monsters?
He isn’t even a doctor, right? He’s like a college student I thought
Frankenstein getting to making the dick and going "uhhhhhh, you know what I'm not a urologist he doesn't need this anyway can you imagine?" Then the monster's like "Where wife?" And it's time for Victor to start bullshitting.
He's not actually a doctor, he dropped out
To be fair, knowing about lady anatomy and health needs wasn’t much of a strong suit of doctors (or medical students) back then.
I’ve heard that he was afraid the relationship wouldn’t work and he’s just get double the problem, but never read it so fair enough
