/lit/ - Literature

no? i read it recently and the doctor was a dick and the monster was a reasonably aggrieved retard who just wanted to fuck off. no one was that scary at all

creepypasta, through sheer monkey on typewriter excess, has probably created the scariest monsters

What's the creepiest creepypasta monster?

>>17475222
Wtf? No. The Creature isn't supposed to be scary, we're supposed to feel for him, that's the point of hearing his side of the story. I'd argue that Lovecraft's monsters are the scariest monster in all of lit, but then again I'm not too well read

probably whichever are most popular, given that the only thing people get from them is a primal sense of fear. so candle cove, maybe?

Hans, are we the baddies?

>>17475222
Probably the main character of my diary desu

according to a professor I had, this is actually a reversal of interpretations, modern readers sympathize with the monster more while contemporary readers in the 19th century were so appalled and the monster killing a child that they sympathized more with Dr. Frankenstein by default

For me, it's the crocodile

ACKSCHUALLY

>>17475222
Perhaps, and it's a good book, but dracula was way more fun to read.

>Frankenstein
>the monster
classic /lit/

>>17475606
His name is adam frankenstein, though, I don't see the issue

>reasonably aggrieved retard
Nigger he learnt a language just lurking in some people's basement. He's 150% less retarded than /lit/.

>>17475606
>book draws multiple parallels between the monster and the creator
>literally uses the word "wretched" do describe them at different points in the book and nobody else
>monster never given any name and is often referred to as "frankensteins" monster
>dickheads still get uppity when people colloquially refer to the monster as Frankenstein

Probably the judge

I'm reading it right now.
>Joe downs a beer in like two sips in chapter 1
>In chapter 2 he has the dream of transforming into a crocodile and eating children
I'm not very far into it but I'm guessing that the crocodile is a metaphor for Joe having an alcohol problem and beating his kids when drunk. It'd be profound and I expect nothing less from Gardner.

>WTF did you just heckin' call Frankenstein's Monster Frankenstein again?!
Shut the fuck up you Reddit faggot.

The scariest monsters in all literature are the agents from The Trial

>>17475222
I don't know why I even wasted my time with this novel. It sucked.
