    I still follow the belief that both frankenstein and his monster are monsters. One in a literal sense the other in an abstract sense

      Intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster.

      Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein was the monster.

        Frankenstein wasn’t a doctor. He was a student that dropped out of college to conduct his life-creating experiments. He was a self-absorbed coward who was completely incapable of taking responsibility for his actions, but most of all he was a kid in way over his head.

        The monster, on the other hand, was a cold-blooded murderer.
