Well, it's admittedly been some time I watched any of the various adoptions but didn't the monster inherit some psycho killer's brain? So it has the killers personality but not his memories?

[–] Lobster@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No. There's no mention of who the brain (or any other part) came from. Frankenstein gathered them from various charnel houses.

To some people, the monster's brain comes from Abby Normal.

then why were you acting like you had an opinion on the book in your top-level comment?

The real facepalm is always in the comments. The OP even said elsewhere that he/she hasn't read it.

First of all, this isn't high school book club but "Facepalm" and on the image you'll find Boris Karloff in the 1931 adaption which is most likely what anyone will have in their mind looking at the meme on top. Secondary I do not only correctly remember the tragic side of the main character but a quick look at Wikipedia's article is confirming my "non-exisisting" opinion (notice the difference between knowledge and opinion - everybody can have an opinion about anything, lacking knowledge or not) quite obviously:

When he finally reveals himself to the family, they are horrified by his appearance and chase him away. The creature then saves a young girl from drowning, only to be shot by her father, who perceives his rescue as an attack. Angry at humanity, the creature travels to Geneva so he can confront Victor;

Maybe you want to read another trivial novel to be a complete asshole about it. We all fail at first attempts from time to time.

I don't feel entitled to hold an opinion about quantum physics, or Finnish politics, or anything I don't understand, and I certainly wouldn't say things like "Goddammit! For all those still struggling to understand..." about them
