MODERATORS
Technically, Frankenstein's Monster was the author, and Dr. Frankenstein himself was the real Mary Shelley we made along the way.
It takes a deep appreciation of the story's themes to recognize that the real monster is actually Mary Shelley
Wow, I mean.... Just, wow.
She created a mad scientist and then put a well-meaning flesh golem through the wringer just for entertainment. That sounds pretty evil to me.
Authors are all sadists
All this time, I thought the real villain was Percy Bysshe Shelley.
