In 1×22, A Land Without Magic, at the very end, once the curse is broken, we see Dr. Whale sitting in a chair looking very confused. His posture very much reminded me of Auguste Rodin’s statue “The Thinker”.
Now the The Thinker is suppose to represent Dante, at the Gates of Hell, in Dante’s work A Divine Comedy. Mary Shelly – Frankenstein, exert from chapter 5: Oh! no mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished he was ugly then; but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived!
As well, there is a rockbilly/surf band out there, from Portugal, called Dr. Frankenstein. They released a CD in 2005 called The Cursed Tapes. One of the tracks is called “The Mad Thinker”.
