Amazing rebuttal, I wish it could copypasted online to every bad Frankenstein take on tumblr and on goodreads and on jstor and on twitter and on every adaptor and-

Also it made me crave a similar peer-reviewed rebuttal to every bad Mina Harker take from 70s papers to Nosferatu (2024) online reviews. Because wdym she does nothing since she gets assaulted and it's the narrative "punishing her for being proactive" did you all collectively straight up not read a word and skipped to the end or are you just simply copying each other hello

People love to complain. It’s Enlightenment mentality imo, “we need to seem so much smarter than these Ignorant romantic and Victorian writers so we’re just gonna grab any vague stereotype about people from that era and stick it on top of the text”. Victorians are sexist and repressed, so NO female character from ANY novel could POSSIBLY be presented in a positive way even if literally everything in the text points towards her being presented in a positive way. Romantics are whiny yappers, so NO romantic protagonist could EVER have a valid reason to be upset in ANY situation.

The Mina thing irritates me specifically. The whole ‘angel in the house’ analysis and things like that, like you said, acknowledging her proactivity ONLY to make some completely ridiculous claim that the narrative punishes her for it and then portraying her as some kind of tradwife when she… literally crafts the narrative itself together and it’s BLATANTLY obvious to anyone who actually read the book that the men who patronise her are punished via Mina’s assault and Mina herself is treated as completely justified in everything she does? But nah, she’s a horrible representation of a woman because she, uhm, lemme check my notes… likes her husband and is Christian. Yep. Okay. Except for when these genius analytical masterminds decide she actually DOESN’T like her husband, she totally wants to fuck Dracula because. Uhm. She totally wanted it when she got metaphorically raped, because hashtag Victorian sexual repression. Yeah. But we’re so much more feminist than Bram Stoker, guys!!!

The greatest tragedy of our generation is that we’ve convinced ourselves that the only love we need and the only love that can be of any real intensity or importance is romantic or sexual love. Non-sexual and non-romantic love and devotion is treated like a fairytale coverup, and therefore all relationships between ourselves that mean anything must be inclosed in eroticism, smothered and destroyed if that was never what they were ever supposed to be.

Friendship, mentorship, religion, protection, leadership — the love between, to and from all members of these dynamics — and much more are diminished in the face of our lust and possession. We are told that we must either be involved in romantic connection or be alone, marry or die alone. Any affection is indicative of romantic or sexual attraction. We have destroyed community, and corrupted Love. Romantic and sexual relationships are beautiful and often born from other dynamics, but we have taken the natural development of the erotic and turned it into a cage, locking ourselves inside of it and wondering why we’re all so lonely. We view historical relationships through this lense, laughing at people from the past and their ‘ignorance’, an Enlightenment-fuelled display, dripping of irony.

All along, we are ignorant. We have defined ourselves by eroticism, condemned and destroyed any form of love that can not be packed neatly away behind walls, and then puzzle ourselves, confused, when our society is run by self involvement and cruelty.
