nabokov is just pretty awesome in general when it comes to literature
he was also world class at snark
:^:
he also had very strange rubric for aesthetic judgement
he thought ulysses was the greatest novel ever but everything else joyce wrote was trash and REALLY had a thing for pushkin
once expressed my dislike for joyce to an irish fella with a doctorate in literature
he runs a really cool tour of dublin once a year based on going to pubs in locations from joyce books
i think i said to him that i don't get the irish going on about joyce all the time when much better stuff has come out of ireland since, like father ted and the cranberries
If the copyright for Frankenstein hadn't expired, the monster probably would have become officially named Frankenstein just like how Shazam used to be called Captain Marvel.

Frankenstein was the name of the castle in which a guy named Dippel killed himself by trying to invent a longevity potion or some stupid shit
"Dippel's Monster" sounded lame af, tho, so it became "Frankenstein's Monster" and eventually "Frankenstein" because language is malleable and only by constant vigilance do we maintain even the most tenuous grasp of relevance, Ludious

Mary Shelley's book isn't the only Frankenstein work out there.
he was also world class at snark
:^:
At least that is tangentially related as Rocket Raccoon is named after Rocky Raccoon
Frankenstein is named after his pa
he wasn't given a name
so no
Yes and there are Sherlock Holmes books that team him up with Cthulhu

Bam.
Frankenstein.
Lookit dat picture of Frankenstein.
Frankenstein's father was almost certainly Frankenstein.
They are named after a castle or something originally.
There is no canon. People came up with a name to refer to the creation by, and the name stuck.

@elki is it an elevator?
I mean I am undeniably, absolutely technically correct

Okay Cinders, here's the plan.
Travel to Anacortes, make Alazull give you infinity cakes, then sell them to recoup expenses and make significant profit.
All for the price of two selfies!
