* People's inner sexism really be shining through when they think its was #TotallyAlright for The Creature to ask for a bride (as MISERABLE and UGLY as him: "one as deformed and horrible as myself [would not deny herself to me]" & "(...) of the same species and have the same /defects/". dont you think thats a bit fucking icky??) and then mock Victor's reasoning for /not/ creating a bride even though it was totally?? Fucknif valid?? like
"He had sworn to quit the neighbourhood of man and hide himself in deserts, but she had not; and *she, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation*" -chapter 21, 1831
VICTOR THOUGHT ABOUT HER CONSENT. SHE DIDNT CONSENT TO A MARRIAGE. SHE MIGHT HATE HIM. its actually surprising that a man in the 1700s thought about a woman's thoughts in things, which is why i love victor all the more. maybe i am looking into things a bit too much, but Mary Shelley, daughter of a world-known feminist, probably did that on purpose to showcase victor as a feminist-ish guy (anyone who says victor is ACKSHUALLY misogynistic ---- i can send you a few of my friends' analysis on the matter of whether he is misogynistic or not. the answer is NO btw LMFAOOO). but anyways yeah if you think someone thinking about a woman's consent in things is stupid and that victor shouldve made the bride anyways, i think you should sit down and THINK about ur beliefs for a moment? yeah? Yeah.
not to mention that the creature wouldbve probably (accidentally??) groomed the female creature bevcause their relationship parallels the relatiomnship of alphonse and caroline like a LOT butthats a whole different can of worms lmfao. its kind of pedophillic if you take a moment to actually ucking think about it and NOT view the book as "good guy vs bad guy" and also NOT be an absent-minded Specfic Character™ supporter and hate the other guy who ALSO HAS NUANCE!!!!!!!
