Never has there been, and never will there be, a more pathetic person than Victor Frankenstein. What on earth did he do to Mary to make her write him so unlikable?!

Forget everything you thought you knew about Frankenstein. Dead bodies sewn together? Forget it. Stupid monster? Forget it. 

This is a story of a man who arrogantly does something incredibly stupid for vain reasons and then sleeps, runs away and faints pathetically while everyone around him suffers the consequences.

Oh my wretched life!
