Hahaha! So he wasn't Dr Frankenstein yet but only a college kid?
Wish his formula to animate dead matter wasn't a "never gonna tell" secret, & his motives were more impactful.
Disappointing, but still interesting dilemmas.
My dear Victor, all of this trouble wouldn't have happened if you had TALKED and taken immediate countermeasures.
Or better yet, not done that experiment.
But then we'd not have this novel.

VICTOR: Ja, I mean nein.

VICTOR: OMG! I'm a monster! Three innocents died, and all I'll do is wring my hands and fall ill and want to die!
ELIZABETH: Victor, are you in love with another woman?

No idea what happened here. I'm a simple girl: I see a book, I leaf through it.
Somehow the 'leafing through it' turned into me reading 50 pages in one sitting without evenrealising it. :D
I blame Guillermo del Toro, my friend Becks, the bookkeeper who had this edition dangling under my nose like candy, and myself for not reading this before. It's engrossing!
But, wait, why do Swiss folks have English names here?

Why do I see so many people reading this right now? Is it 'cause of the new film adaption?

For me, I'd been wanting to read a 'monster story' this month for a bit and I accidentally ended up reading 50 pages of this whilst leafing through it at the library. Now I'm well in and enjoying it!
Just saw the latest film adaptation avd realized it’s been since high school since I read the original! Definitely going to revisit this classic— I suspect my rating (based on gut instinct from all those years ago) may change!!

Yeah, idk where all this Dr. Frankenstein business comes from lol. Also, I may have been slightly surprised to learn the entirely of the "It's alive" scene, including the castle setting, was invented for the movies. XD

I'm familiar with the story in very, very broad strokes, by cultural osmosis, so there's plenty of surprises to me.
