To be fair, the monster wasn't really evil to begin with, he just chose that path after Victor told him he was. Remember, this was after he taught himself how to read and first tried to be social. an effort which was rewarded with a shotgun blast, but my point is: the world already hated him - especially the man who brought him into this world - before he even had a chance to prove himself. No wonder he turned out the way he did. The feeling of not being safe in your own skin on top of daddy issues. I'm sure there are enough of us out there that have experienced this at very young ages, all coming to a boiling point during high school. Outcasts, misfits, freaks.
And don't get me started on Universal's -Abnormal Brain. - Such a broad term that can mean any inconsistency in the brain; disability, disorder, or otherwise. If there's one field where Frankenstein failed, it was Psychology. This version's monster was born with the mind of a newborn baby inside a body with the strength of an army. At first, things are fine, he obeys the doctor's orders to walk, BUT THEN, Fritz flails a lit torch at this creature, and he flinches! NOW, he feels threatened, and relies on his natural instincts. Instead of try to calm him down, they immediately bring the monster into a dungeon and start whipping him. literally. How did that turn out for ya, Fritz? Oh, yeah.

I think Frankenstein wasn't evil but made a mistake, and i think the monster (calling it a monster seems mean we need to canonize a name for it, i reccomend Jeffery) was evil, cuz it murdered children out of a lust for vengeance, you cant blame wickedness on a bad life because others in the same situation dont commit murder but i think it makes the monster more sympathetic and i think Victor didnt treat the monster right which helped it become bad

Thank you, everyone at Crash Course! The passion and interest y'all put into every video has begun to rub off on me. I never read anything in school (I diagnosed dyslexia, and never questioned it. I make the most simplest sentences into book. Just so I could avoid them. Crash Course, by showing how amazing the storys hidden in the books are, you've created a desire, in me, that I never thought I'd have.

An interesting idea to consider is that Victor Frankenstein is held responsible for the monster's actions (such as the killing of Victor's family, but the monster is given free will of its own, and thus can be considered responsible for its actions. If not, then the same argument could be made about Victor, blaming his Creator for his actions, rather than Victor himself.

They have reanimated the dead it's called heart transplant surgery if you have no heart you are dead, but they gave him another so he came back to life. Also CPR is used to restart someone's breathing if your not breathing your dead also. They also have electronic devices to restart someone's heart.

It's almost like a metaphor for black youth in America. Abandoned by their father and because of their environment, they lash out. Being regected by society, how could you call them monsters when you don't take care of them. Just a thought

Frankenstein's reaction to the creating his -monster- reminds me of Oppenheimer's reaction to the success of the first testing of an atomic bomb. It wasn't until they saw the final product that either one fully realized what they had created.

You know, Frankenstein-s Monster was one of the two literary characters that inspired Stan Lee to create the Hulk. The other literary character was Dr. Henry Jekyll / Mr. Edward Hyde.
