It's Ember! She/her. Silly ol' blog mainly for my silly ol’ fictional interests! I like to analyze characters and plotpoints. Pleased to meet ya! :D (pfp is that one time the Empire State Building turned itself red because Taylor Swift released Red: Taylor’s Version)
hello character who is desperate to be a good person; i want to play a game. in front of you is the one person you will never be able to save. you have the rest of your life to make peace with this. there are no defined repercussions if you fail, but we both know you're going to attempt to win regardless. your time starts now
Some Frankenstein adaptations I've seen end up with Clerval getting involved with the creature in some way. Whether it's through finding out about him or even helping to create the bride. It is a fun concept, but I feel like it defeats a lot of the purpose of his character. I think that one of the most important things about Clerval is that he is kept entirely separate from the creature until his death.
Clerval partially symbolises what Victor could've been like if he wasn't consumed by the desire to try and harness life and death and never gave the creature life. I think he should be kept separate from the creature on that principle alone, but there are other things, too.
Henry is a form of escapism for Victor. He provides Victor with a place where he doesn't have to worry about the creature. For the most part, he is able to forget about his turmoil when he's with Henry. Even when his worries are plaguing him, he is at least able to enjoy being with Henry.
After Henry arrives in Ingolstadt, the creature is nowhere to be seen. Although the creature is watching Victor throughout their travels across Britain, he does not appear to Victor until Henry is gone.
The creature and Clerval are almost like two separate worlds: the place that embodies all of Victor's deepest regrets and the place where he doesn't have to worry about them.
When the creature and Clerval do come together, it results in Clerval's death. Victor loses the place of peace he used to have and falls into a depressive state.
Henry provides Victor with relative peace, happiness and escapism. In order for him to provide that, Victor would want to do everything he can to ensure that Henry never finds out about the creature. He would want to ensure that they are kept separate. Which would probably mean... not wanting to get him involved with it
you cant ever let yourself forget what it felt like to be 15. how adults treated you. being treated without a shred of respect because people think youre too young to have thoughts and feelings of your own. the lack of autonomy. you cant ever forget that because if you do you might become the kind of adult who treats kids like theyre not people
this morning the United Nations Human Rights Council voted on a resolution calling for a ban on arms sales to Israel and the resolution passed. two Israeli border points opened for aid routes (they were supposedly open? lmao), Biden is calling for an immediate ceasefire, last night was the first without air attacks on Gaza.. the killing of seven foreign aid workers shook the world apparently, but oh god how late. the journey to recognising genocide for some seems to avoid acknowledging the humanity of thousands of Palestinians who have been murdered
Just had a Thought and now I'm curious. What's you guy's strangest comfort media? It doesn't have to be strange as in like creepy/fucked up/whatever, it can just be smthn a lil odd.
