Welcome back to monster podcasts, where today we aren't looking inside the minds of characters, but instead, the author. By dissecting the pages of the story we find out the whys behind the whats.
Join us in cutting open the mind of Frankenstein and his monster using the Psychoanalytic lens.
In this premiere episode of Monster Podcasts, Our Host -- Jacob -- dives deep into Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein through the lenses of Psychoanalysis and Deconstruction. What if the real monster isn’t the Creature, but Victor’s own haunted mind? What happens when the line between creator and creation begins to crumble?
We explore how guilt, and the unconscious shape Victor’s choices, and how language and identity unravel when we try to label someone as purely “monster” or “man.” By the end, you’ll see Shelley’s gothic masterpiece not as a story of science gone wrong, but as a mirror reflecting our most terrifying inner truths.
