Also it's very uncomfortable to see how much Walton romanticizes Victor's depression. "Noble and godlike in ruin" dude he's just educated in the same way as you and hyperfixating on revenge, please stop

Let there be a Frankenstein movie that doesn't vilify the creation, but let it also be a movie that doesn't vilify Victor either. Let it explore two equally flawed people as human beings, not monsters.

Victor didn't abandon the creation out of malice. He got sick; he was a young college student that didn't even take care of himself while working on his project, how could he take care of his creation?

The creation, rightfully, gets a lot of the sympathy. So much was out of his control, since the person who should have guided him could not do that for him. And yet, he is just as flawed as Victor!

Victor and his creation both act rashly without thinking things through. They're both sensitive and in love with nature. They're both extremely stubborn and self-destructive. They are the same.

If you sympathize with the creation, Victor deserves some of that sympathy as well. And if you hate on Victor, his creation has those same terrible qualities. Neither are fully perfect and good, but both are still human and sympathetic in many ways. That's why it's so good!! The complexity!!

starting to suspect reading les mis in small daily doses is going to be less of an "updates from my good friends jonathan and mina" vibe and more of a "victor hugo barges into my house at lunchtime every day and begins debating me on a topic I absolutely did not ask him about"
