Knowledge is understanding Frankenstein isn't the monster

Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein is the monster

Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein

Ethics is understanding that the reason he's the monster is because he's a neglectful and abusive parent.

If the monster was the doctor's son (or "son"), wouldn't they have the same surname?

If I created a monster, I'd like them to inherit my last name.

Yeah, there's a pretty decent argument that "Adam" would count as Victor's illegitimate son

Furthermore, 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."
