Knowledge is understanding Frankenstein isn't the monster
Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein is the monster
97Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein
24And THAT'S how I got into Juilliard!

Ethics is understanding that the reason he's the monster is because he's a neglectful and abusive parent.
18Oenology is the understanding that all differences can be resolved by ingesting copious amounts of spirits.
2More like an absent parent.

Knowledge is having read the book and seeing both parties acknowledge that their relationship is familial, that Frankenstein is a surname, and thus recognizing that there is both the Doctor and Monster Frankenstein.
14They're both Frankenstein, and also they're both monsters. Victor shouldn't have made the monster, and he should've done more to stop it, but the monster was also an asshole. Being treated like a monster doesn't make it okay to act like one.

And actually reading the book is understanding that Frankenstein wasn't the monster
His biggest crime was abandoning his creation. His creation's biggest crime was the multiple murders
7I'm not going to justify the murders, especially the child, but the common people were beating him everywhere he went. This guy was a genius who just wanted a friend.
5Frankenstein's biggest crime was allowing Justine to be executed.

Uh... 🙋
60Nice.
10You weren't even there, man!

If I created a monster, I'd like them to inherit my last name.
33Yeah, there's a pretty decent argument that "Adam" would count as Victor's illegitimate son
19Furthermore, as a creation of Victor Frankenstein, calling the monster "a Frankenstein" is no more inaccurate than calling Guernica "a Picasso," or a 1996 Camry "a Toyota."
26
If the monster was the doctor's son (or "son"), wouldn't they have the same surname?
18They didn't have a great relationship. Maybe the monster would prefer to go by it's mother's maiden name.
12Does Data Sung have the same surname as his "father"?

"Dr. Frankenstein is my father's name. Call me Frank."
11I know there's Frankenstein, but is there the opposite? Lyingstein? Desifulstein!
