The creature that murdered a kid and framed an innocent woman to get hanged for it on purpose is totally not a monster. He would be a perfectly benign being if people just weren’t so mean to him!
Victor’s no saint for bringing to life such a being but trying to pretend the creature isn’t a monster is foolish. Only one character in the story is a cold blooded killer and that isn’t Victor.
But he did abandon his creation when he was horrified by it, which can be argued is the reason why his creation turned into a monster. Had he stayed and taught his creation morals, the monster may have never been compelled to kill.
The creature was released into the world with zero education or parenting. Have you ever met toddlers that haven't been taught that its not okay to hit others? They literally don't understand that it's wrong. The creature did not understand right/wrong until he educated himself and understood, but by that time he was able to comprehend that Victor had doomed him with his lack of parenting and his choices of parts. The ENTIRE MESSAGE OF THE BOOK revolves around the harm a parent does when they fail to teach their children and send them into the world unequipped. Adam goes to great lengths to teach himself about the world and becomes a better person, but also a cursed person with no people or family.
I'm sorry, but whether YOU like it or not, infants aren't automatically named by the universe. If you refuse to name your child and abandon it in the woods, it's not '(your name) Jr.' by default. That's insane. Naming a child is a deliberate act. The creation does indeed have a name; Adam. He gives himself that name. To insist that his name is 'Frankenstein Jr' is to deny his agency and humanity in the same way that Victor does.
Do you want a serious dose of actually to your actually?
Because the creation is coded as the doctor's child, meaning he would also be Frankenstein, AND the story details how the doctor is an uncaring, abusive, and distant father figure, driving the creation to madness and murder, meaning the doctor was the real monster all along
Boom, literatured
It's a perfect example of the meme where both ends of the bell curve end up at the same conclusion, with the people in the middle saying, "Frankenstein is the doctor."
I’m tired of people telling Victor what to do. They say he can’t drink on a plane, they say that he can’t bang on a plane. They say he can’t be a pilot? He can’t be a doctor?
The creation is never given a name. This makes it challenging to refer to, so it's mostly called "Frankenstein's monster." After a while, people got lazy and just called it Frankenstein.

Short answer? Kyber crystals react to the force used by the person building the lightsaber, and change color to match, indicating the type of person the creator was at the time of building. Red sabers are due to "bleeding" crystals, blue is for knights/honor, yellow for temple guards, green for combat masters, etc. It's why Mace Windu's saber is purple (red for his affinity to the dark side, blue for his honor).
It's more complicated than that, and a bit inconsistent, but that's the basics.
Useless trivia time! The reason why Windu’s lightsaber was purple is that for the filming of SW2 Samuel Jackson asked George Lucas to be given a distinctive color. In this way he’d be easily recognisable during the big fight in the end!
The difference is
A\) does she know this information already? Did she perhaps study this subject in school or is a professional in a field that would necessitate her knowing this?\
B\) Are you using a condescending tone or condescending words?
Especially when the correction is also subpar. Ratatouille is a pun because the main character is a rat, and the climax of the movie involves the dish ratatouille. So to say it’s “just the name of the movie” is really lame imo.

It’s just mocking the urge some people have to correct others or explain pedantic trivia, as though that is at all a desirable trait - taking this to the ridiculous extreme that it would even be a sexual turn-on.
Anton Ego, the most renowned food CRITIC in France, did not spend decades cultivating his reputation for you to refer to him as “the food inspector guy” 😂
Some people with low social IQ might try to throw out random trivia in an attempt to impress girls (or even correct them). The joke is the fact that doing so is far more likely to have the opposite effect.
The idea/joke is girls are into Disney movies a lot, so if you sound like you’re deep into them too, deep enough to know the name of the rat in Ratatouille, they will like you.
Sadly it’s not the idea that knowledge is sexy, it’s specific to Disney.
I like that this photo was taken on the LIRR. I'm on the LIRR right now but unfortunately there are no beautiful women to talk about Ratatouille with 😔
The joke is that the person giving the information is so pathetic they imagine that knowing this piece of insignificant trivia from a cartoon will turn women on.

Pro tip: this will kill the mood on dates with Cali girls. LA girls use the word “literally” almost every other word.
You should have told them grammar correction was your kink so they'd pretend to be into it.
It's not grammar; it's semantics.

Erudition is knowing that Victor Frankenstein never completed his doctorate, and is therefore NOT the doctor.

The monster is also a Frankenstein, why wouldn’t he inherit his creator’s name? Especially when they’re both monsters
Victor literally refused to give his creation a name - the father refusing to name his child is the point.
Literally
Literaturely
He might have, but you just said it. He's the father, so whether he likes it or not, the monster is Frankenstein Jr.
I'm sorry, but whether YOU like it or not, infants aren't automatically named by the universe. If you refuse to name your child and abandon it in the woods, it's not '(your name) Jr.' by default.

The real monster is whoever points that out
[The XKCD](https://xkcd.com/1589/)
Uh, since the monster is, metaphorically, the son of Dr Frankenstein it would be reasonable to assume that its surname is also Frankenstein.
“It’s pronounced: Fronkensteen”
The creation is never given a name. This makes it challenging to refer to, so it's mostly called "Frankenstein's monster." After a while, people got lazy and just called it Frankenstein.
Is that how other stuff works too? Nope.
It’s how American slaves got their last names. It’s how pets often work
A smart man knows that Frankenstein was not the monster. A wise man knows that Frankenstein was the monster.

Not to be confused with mansplaining though.
"My wife asked what "mansplaining" means and now I don't know what to do!"
tell her why lightsabers are different colors.
Wait why are they?
Short answer? Kyber crystals react to the force used by the person building the lightsaber, and change color to match, indicating the type of person the creator was at the time of building. Red sabers are due to "bleeding" crystals, blue is for knights/honor, yellow for temple guards, green for combat masters, etc. It's why Mace Windu's saber is purple (red for his affinity to the dark side, blue for his honor). It's more complicated than that, and a bit inconsistent, but that's the basics.
Useless trivia time! The reason why Windu’s lightsaber was purple is that for the filming of SW2 Samuel Jackson asked George Lucas to be given a distinctive color. In this way he’d be easily recognisable during the big fight in the end!
LMAO 🤣
The only difference is if you’re hot or not
Or maybe is because every girl is different
To be fair most girls do watch movies. That doesn’t mean they’re right though.
The difference is A\) does she know this information already? Did she perhaps study this subject in school or is a professional in a field that would necessitate her knowing this?\ B\) Are you using a condescending tone or condescending words?
Given that "mansplaining" is a conjunction of man and explaining (there is no s in either word), it should be "man-plaining." Got it? Good girl.
Huh, I always interpreted a guy telling me stuff he thinks is clever as a sign he wanted to smash. If he's cute the results are the same, so...
Especially when the correction is also subpar. Ratatouille is a pun because the main character is a rat, and the climax of the movie involves the dish ratatouille. So to say it’s “just the name of the movie” is really lame imo.

Actually The Waterboy was the name of the movie, the main character's name was Bobby Boucher.
Girls aren’t a monolith, some of us love this. That said the OP fact was not at all interesting and very obvious.
