Frankenstein truly is an enduring classic. A tale of a magnificent privileged man descending into insanity entirely through his own actions negatively effecting the lives of those around him.
A supposedly clever university scientist who doesn’t have basic common sense greatly overreacting to everything. Thinking his emotions above all are important, even on the edge of death. A story of a man playing god by creating a child and then neglecting said child and then being surprised that child grew up to hate him.
