#same could be said of ford. theres another shared trait right there

[grunklefidds]

rereading frankenstein and both completely forgot abt clerval and apparently did not get any Vibes from the sequence of his arrival in ingolstadt & caring for victor when i read it in high school (am reading the same copy i had then and am thoroughly annoyed by my old notes) but NOW...... the way victor talks abt the creature/how haunted he is/how Immediately Relieved he is to see clerval feel v similar to the bits of journal 3 when fiddleford first arrived & the time between him leaving and stan arriving

#p #tucking this comparison into my vague idea of a vn based on frankenstein #them talking similarly abt bill and the creature is kinda funny actually bc ford was genuinely manipulated #but mr frankenstein this was YOUR idea. like 100% right from your brain this is on YOU #i think primary shared trait here is acting both from pain (grief & lifelong outcast status respectively) and just STUPID ambition #also u know that post going around recently like 'media where it all couldve been avoided if one person had gay sex' #saw it and that included frankenstein before getting to this point in my reread and was like him???? what?? but now i get it #same could be said of ford. theres another shared trait right there
