“In the story of Frankenstein, Dr Frankenstein leads a town lynch mob to go and destroy the monster he created. “
Okay…this is just me being picky but I need to clarify this: No where in the story, the novel, does Dr. Frankenstein lead a lynch mob to destroy the monster. In the traditional story, the monster himself goes around destroying the people in Frankenstein’s life in order to obtain revenge for having been abandoned during creation. Instead, Dr. Frankenstein doesn’t reveal to anyone, except Walter a man he meets while sailing, that he created this monster because he feels so guilty over the deaths and knows he would be blamed. This, of course, would explain why he would hide his identity: because he doesn’t want to be associated with his creation. BUT in my mind, a Dr. Frankenstein character would be much more recluse and antisocial…as he traditional is: not a womanizer. That’s not to say I wouldn’t find it interesting to have him in the show, I just think there are some issues with the theory….
