Dr. Frankenstein gave the monster life. Therefore, it should get his last name.

[–] littletoolshed@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Part of Frankenstein's rejection of his creation is the fact that he does not give him a name. Instead, Frankenstein's creation is referred to by words such as "wretch", "monster", "creature", "demon", "devil", "fiend", and "it". When Frankenstein converses with the creature, he addresses him as "vile insect", "abhorred monster", "fiend", "wretched devil", and "abhorred devil".

Nah, my mom called me half of these things but I still get the last name

Typical parent.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That sounds like putting the cart before the horse. I would say that Frankenstein Abhors his creation, and does not name it because of it. I don't think if he'd named it Greg or something, that he'd actually treat his monster any better.

Accurate to real life parenting.

An abusive parent is still a parent. Unfortunately. The Creature doesn't have to keep the name, but should be the heir to whatever is left of the family fortune and fortress.

And Victor should keep the interpretational sovereignty?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why would monster want to take on that name?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe if it's entailed to the inheritance.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Asking the real question

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

Definitely, didn't the monster refer to him as "father" at one point?
