"The story [of Frankenstein] is nothing like the costume; it's much better."Here we come to the conclusion of the classic novel Frankenstein, where we learn the fates of Dr. Frankenstein, the Fiend, and friends. We talk about betrayal and vengeance, misery and morality, the nature of humanity, redemption, the devastation of loneliness, and the pitfalls of hubrisWe ponder what is the moral cliff that over which our characters tumble head over heels. Can the monster be redeemed? Could Dr. Frankenstein find redemption? Or are they like the classic "Addict" who becomes obsessed, acts in secret, and whose behaviors escalate beyond their control?We learn that keeping secrets is bad. Loneliness is untenable. Messing around with trying to improve upon humanity tends to have results we don't want. Redemption only comes to those who seek it.
