The only part of this theory that confuses me a bit.. was Frankenstein a womanizer? Perhaps that was addressed before and I missed it. Once again I would like to offer huge praise for those who pieced together this theory with barley anything to run on.
Dr. Frankenstein was, in part, based of off Mary Shelley’s husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was indeed something of a womanizer.
[adrotate group="5"]Hey, new member here, please be gentle. Anyway, two things.
1) As far as Dr. Whale’s womanizing not fitting Dr. Frankenstein, apparently Mary Shelley based the character off of her husband, who had an affair with her stepsister Claire.
2) As far as “not fitting the fairy tale theme” there’s actually a fairy tale called “The Three Army Surgeons”, wherein the title characters hack off various body parts so they can reattach them later with a special salve and prove what great doctors they are; things go terribly wrong, of course….
After all the evidence that’s been presented, if he isn’t Dr. Frankenstein, anyone else might be a bit of a letdown.
