Also, I'm convicted that Frankenstein's creature was effectively a proto-incel:
I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous.
And
"Shall each man," cried he, "find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone? I had feelings of affection, and they were requited by detestation and scorn. Man! You may hate, but beware! Your hours will pass in dread and misery, and soon the bolt will fall which must ravish from your happiness forever.
I'm not going to spoil further, but once you see it you can't unsee it.
On a final note, I've tried several audiobooks and the one narrated by George Guidall is, by far, the best. He really brought the story to life with all the depth and misery of its characters
