Dr. Bobby Presents: Frankenstein Part 6 (Mary Shelley)


Listen Later

Welcome to Part 6 of our deep dive into Frankenstein! In this episode, we explore the Creature’s turning point—his descent from hopeful benevolence into vengeful hatred. After saving a human, he is repaid with violence, leading to his resolve to inflict suffering on mankind, much like Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the Dark Side.

We also analyze his demand for a companion, Victor’s moral dilemma in creating a second being, and the philosophical implications of free will and fate. As the novel unfolds, we see parallels with Star Wars, The Hulk, and even Mary Shelley’s The Mortal Immortal, emphasizing themes of revenge, survivor’s guilt, and the burden of existence.

📖 Topics Covered:

  • The Creature’s tragic rejection and fall into vengeance
  • Victor’s moral dilemma: Should he create a second being?
  • Free will vs. destiny in Frankenstein and modern storytelling
  • Survivor’s guilt and psychological trauma in Victor’s arc
  • The Creature’s final fate and themes of immortality
