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.
Comment on Frankenbeans
littletoolshed@lemmy.world 2 months agoPart 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

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?

Why would monster want to take on that name?
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Maybe if it’s entailed to the inheritance.
