Well, he's kind of Frankenstein's son, isn't he? So surely he'd take the paternal family name?

I think of him as being called "Frankenstein's monster" although Frankenstein wouldn't have called him that.

> You are now aware that Frankenstein is a metaphor for the demiurge in Gnostic cosmology, and that the fall of man is modeled through the rebellion of the monster after reading Paradise Lost. Moreover, that the lack of an analogous Eve character and the chauvinism of the creator is meant as a twofold critique of patriarchy and contemporary Christian mythology.

Thalia Field consider's Frankenstein to be one of the greatest essays of all time.

Essays.

Thalia Field, you crazy.

The monster is "A Frankenstein" in the same way that all vacuum cleaners are "the hoover". Anyone who makes a creature of any sort from cobbled together bits of old corpse can expect their ungodly creation to be known as "A Frankenstein" - it's part of the success of the original brand.

So shut up whining about semantic and pointless bollocks, you pseudo-intellectal girls.

is the monster the one who is brought unwillingly into the world and responds to it as best it can? Or the one who created the predicament in the first place?
The answer to that is one of the reasons that frankenstein is the monster.

On the other hand, if you had the chance to create a gigantic slave-beast out of pieces of cadaver, wouldn't you? At least to see what happened. It's human nature: curiosity is what got us to the moon.

It's not Dr. Frankenstein's fault that the mad bastard starts running amok and that the peasantry use everything as an excuse to get the pitchforks out and advance on the castle with flaming torches.

Seriously peasantry, leave that shit out for a minute. What are you like?
