In case it wasn’t totally clear, I still found Victor extremely annoying— I just also happened to be annoying and felt like I couldn’t judge 💀💀

When I first read Frankenstein as a teenager, I really didn’t like Victor, thought he was a terrible person, “rip to him but I’m built different” all of that.

Now that I’m past being a 19 year old college student, my mind has changed… drastically. I started University same age Victor did and within four weeks wanted to quit. If I had discovered the secret to life and reanimation I can’t say I wouldn’t have done something drastic. Like yeah Victor makes some real dumbass terrible decisions, but now… idk… his pathetic cringefail personality has seduced me… and maybe he really was just an autistic teen mother with post partum depression.

See, when I was in high school I was self-aware enough to KNOW I wasn’t better than Victor and therefore couldn’t bring myself to hate him. I actually kind of identified with him. Not in a “fuck yeah, I hate ethics and love chaos” way but in a “oh shit it me” kind of way.
