One of the things I did in 2020: I’ve read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein! Long story short - I pretty much fell in love with the story.

Here are some things that popular culture won’t tell you about Frankenstein that I find too interesting not to share:

Victor was never a doctor, but a college dropout.

The monster doesn’t have a name, but at some point he calls himself Adam. Also “Frankenstein” is Victor’s last name, so if you choose to interpret Adam as Victor’s son, “Frankenstein” becomes the Monster’s last name too. The point is, it’s 100% valid to call Frankenstein’s Monster simply “Frankenstein”.

The Monster is described as beautiful - 8 feet tall, his features symmetrical with limbs in proportion; his hair lustrous black and flowing; and his eyes yellow. He’s also super-strong and super-fast, but I think that should go without saying.

Adam is also incredibly intelligent and calculating. And pretty snarky and eloquent in his way of speaking. Oh yeah, and he also speaks French.

Towards the end of the book there’s a scene where the Monster grins and runs away across the Europe, armed with a gun and many pistols and it’s just… it’s great.

Some men are born to plow fields, some live to be great physicians, others to be great kings. Me? I was born to serve you, Arthur. And I’m proud of that. And I wouldn’t change a thing.
