This one is weird for me to write, because I always thought it was common knowledge until this past weekend when discussing it at work, when I was the only one in a group of 6 people that knew this, 3 of whom were college educated. Back in 1818 Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein. In this story, Victor Frankenstein creates a monster out of spare human parts and brings it to life. He is described as being 8 feet tall and having pearly white teeth and lustrous black hair. His skin was yellow and tight to the point it barely concealed the inner workings of his muscles and arteries.
He also does not have a name. They simply referred to it in the abstract by calling it, well, “it” or ” monster” and things like “creature” and “demon,” but it doesn’t truly have a name.
Now I say all that to point this out, calling him Frankenstein isn’t actually wrong. Universal Studios has been doing it for over 100 years now. Hell there is even a movie called The Bride of Frankenstein.
I think, in all honesty, it is time to admit, we are basically just calling this dude by his last name. His creator’s (dad’s) name is Victor Frankenstein; he never gave him a first name, so we call him by his last name. I just never realized so many people knew there was a book, but didn’t know he didn’t have a name in it. Enjoy monster Friday, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
