just so yall know when Frankenstein is on the hunt for the monster the monster would leave food for viktor, leave obvious clues so viktor would have a sense of tracking easily and kept a slow pace for viktor so he wouldnt get so tired quickly. very sad yet powerful story
I wouldn’t say Victor is the monster. He didn’t want people to die because of him. It’s just his lack of caution and influences from that age that led to the death of those people. The creature on the other hand got the wisdom to be able to decide whether he would kill or not.
Totally agree! Of course Victor isn’t innocent, but his monster is at fault too. I can’t help but feel bad for either of them, but also acknowledging that they both have issues….
nope. He’s in the wrong. Victor is entitled, self-centered and egotistical. He created the creature so he could traverse the “heavens” (Chapter 23) and his paternal neglect and refusal to give Creature a bride is what prompted the Creature to seek revenge. His actions had consequences; don’t victimize him. He deserted a newborn creation.
@@nodrvgs Agree. But still the monster killed an innocent child and framed an innocent woman. Both of those actions were before Victor destroyed the monster bride. The monster himself affirms everything and affirms that he is a wretch.
@ at least Frank jr is self-aware. Victor plays the victim until his deathbed. I dislike him thoroughly. Let’s agree to disagree. I’ll leave you with this quote from the Creature: “Am I thought to be the only criminal, when all humankind sinned against me?”
@@nodrvgs I never said Victor was the hero or didn’t have any guilt. What I said is not to treat his creature purely as the victim either. He would disagree with you if you said he is innocent as himself admitted to commit terrible crimes.
@@AleGamesFan the monster is a 4 year old child himself. And i am pretty sure that woman wouldn't accept him. She would try to kill him just like every human did
@@Starnoch yea totally wanted to seem profound in my random RUclips comment under a summary of Frankenstein 🤣🤣 you have some kinda problem trying to be superficial yourself
@@sueyu7536no you just sound superficial. Also, Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, so that quote is incorrect. Go touch some grass, and have a nice day!
@@theoriginaltoba i was referring to victor Frankenstein the scientist, it was some random quote i made months ago Christian girl wandering the internet go find somewhere to insert yourself in
@@sueyu7536 that’s really rude to use someone’s religion against them. I suggest you quit having that attitude and insert YOURSELF somewhere decent. It was nice talking to you, have a nice day! :)
I like how of all the little video essays on the book I've watched so far, no one can help but point out the queer subtext. I really like this production value.
2:50 well, that and the fact that Shelly didn't have any idea how mechanically it would work, but I do appreciate the extra effort of writing in an excuse instead of yada yadaing.
poor thing, to think that just because he was "recycled", to be treated like this. I see a strange parallelism between the story of Frankenstein's creature that I would call him "Frank" or like "Neo-Adam" and Pinocchio the puppet, especially in the "birth" both "born" from inanimate things and come to life, but the big difference is in the "fathers": Mister Geppetto was a poor old man full of love he had the responsibilities of having children, instead Victor as soon as he sees his "paternal duties" he would say "What does it matter to me", he goes away (including at the aspect of its creation). and at the end of the comparison Geppetto gets a good son, and instead Victor... (well you know how it ends).
In the novel, while living in the shack beside the de Lacey cottage, the monster comes across some books.. among them is Milton's Paradise Lost. He reads this and begins to formulate his own self-image as akin to the character of Lucifer in Milton's telling: a tragic hero, rejected and abandoned by a creator who shows love and compassion to everyone but him. This is sort of where he begins to really perceive what he is, and understand his own emotions and trauma; then by extension to justify his future actions as the bringer of just consequences to an irresponsible father. He, like Milton's Lucifer, sees himself as a dejected wretch who craves love and acceptance, but also believes himself unworthy because no one will give it to him, and then projects the fault of that onto his creator, Viktor -- almost to the extent that he ascribes malice to Viktor in creating him in the first place. As in: "why would you create me like this just to hate and abandon me, leaving me to live a life of pain and hate?" It really is an excellent book. I'm not exactly a literary scholar, but well-read enough to say this is one of my favourite classic books. It's really accessible to read, not much longer than, say, The Hobbit, and moves the plot along at a good enough pace to stay interesting.
Please someone do this book justice as a movie or tv production! My hope is Christopher Nolan, Denis Villaneuve or somebody who actually read the book and make the creature more like the book. After 200 years, we're still waiting!!!!!

both victor and frankenstein aren't monsters. One is a man that makes irrational decisions and sucks at communications and the other a consequence of frankensteins irrational decisions post-creation.
Victor is trying to play god and became a monster the second he left his creation to fend for itself also Victor and Frankenstein are the same person… because Frankenstein is Victors last name, the monster is only referred to as the monster hope this helps
@@sueyu7536 I call the monster Frankenstein cause he don’t got a name. I don’t need help knowing something obviously written in the book. What I do need help to understand though is why people place such a big emphasis on “playing god”. As if attempting to bring something to life will call upon divine punishment. Sure the author may have implied that theme if we take in common sentiments during her time of industrialization and scientific progress but looking at the work solely, “playing god” is not relevant to the story at all 😂 all he did was manipulating biology. People been doing that for centuries. Crop yields increase, wolf’s became dogs, spices became edible, fruits became sweeter, etc. Frankensteins only mistake was being an irresponsible bitch. The product “monster” itself was neutral and even innate goodness in him when he was born.
@@Starnoch It is very relevant hence why the story is referred to as "The modern Prometheus" which provides the context for the novel about abusing power which belongs to the gods. The examples you listed of evolution are nowhere near on the magnitude of creating a superior species with human parts. God created humans to be superior for a reason, this defies God. His downfall is a significant effect of playing God. Your examples listed have nothing to do with playing God.
@@techsupport154 Your only argument is your differing religious beliefs. I can’t argue when logic isn’t at hand. Both Frankenstein and the list I’ve stated is Manipulating nature, tempering with “Gods creation”. There isn’t a way to objectively determine the magnitude between each, and even if there was they both fall under the same category. Give a hundred or so years and we’ll begin to see a lot more of this category. Cloning, dna manipulation, artificial stem cells to prolong life. Nevertheless my point stands.
nope they did. pls don’t assume that a 15 minute video summary is a replacement for an actual novel. it’s like 120 pages; just read it, you can finish it within a day or two at a decent pace. otherwise, don’t go talking on a book you’ve not even read 🤣
Sadly, this is a highly misleading summary, most of its details are incorrect, simply made-up. As if "Schooling Online" has not read the book. Please be aware.
With the modern lingo, excuse me if this cringe. But Frankenstein's creation in the novel could be an incel, he demanded love after murdering his family members then killed the rest except Ernest.
It is clearly victors fault, he had the stupid green creature, he was impulsive and gay and I do not support him in his antics. Do not read this book it will give you homosexual feelings.
This channel is obviously obsessed with just making every main character some kind of “victim” but literally the monster literally had a baby’s mind and victor abandoned it
Got me a 90/100 on a 40 question test for my Advanced English Literature without reading a single word, thank you
and then the teacher will be like "I can tell you read"
That's why I'm watching this rn🤣
Damn you lucky 😭 My teacher be asking the most random obscure questions that i don’t remember half the time I do read.
Looks like your teacher has not read the book. Otherwise, you would not get more than 30/100 by watching this highly misleading summary.
@@silverstiffler6648 same 😂
It’s clearly Victor’s fault: he was impulsive and didn’t plan on how creating this creature would impact him and those around him.
💯💯
just so yall know when Frankenstein is on the hunt for the monster the monster would leave food for viktor, leave obvious clues so viktor would have a sense of tracking easily and kept a slow pace for viktor so he wouldnt get so tired quickly. very sad yet powerful story
Only so Victor didn't give up hope and end it- he wanted Victors suffering to be as long, brutal and drawn out as possible
Dr. Frankenstein entered a bodybuilding competition...
And discovered that he had seriously misunderstood the objective.
10:51 I love how the scientists include Dr Jekyll and Dr Seward in various disguises 🤣

An amazing video, thank you very much for your help

😂😂😂😂
I feel sorry for the monster
I remember reading Frankenstein and skipping over letter 4. Man what a dumbass am I but I hoped back to it
Let's goooo, i passed the test and didn't evn need to study
No way! Im doing a test in like 10 minutes, hope I pass too.
3:05 just remove the audio. Enough said.
Is this the 1818 text or 1831 text?
Pretty sure it's the 1831 one
Is there anyone who can summarize this video for me? I need it for tomorrow morning
lol the video is the summary man
How the hell is Henry I've read three books watched ungodly amount of Frankenstein movies and never heard of Clerval?!?!
I have teast about story. Thank you
They REALLY didnt need the 3 layers of story
What’s that

Was that Adam & Eve? 7:38
1:43 Owl House reference?
this strory is all about.. that father must be responsible
7:00 i thought he learned english or german?
it changes a lot depending what summary ppl choose but in the end it doesnt matter does it sadly
no it was French (possibly german) but definitely not English. Victor is from a Swiss family.
Sadly, this is a highly misleading summary, most of its details are incorrect, simply made-up. As if "Schooling Online" has not read the book. Please be aware.
To be honest I think the monster and Victor Are both monsters
Giving him a wife would've fixed everything
Dayummmm. The monster lowkey hot ngl.
