Victor Frankenstein and Henry Clerval with their hair down, to show off those beautiful long 18th century locks! ♥
(Also this is pretty much how I imagined their height difference too)
Henry Clerval is part Hobbit. You can't change my mind.
as i was reading the 1818 annotated text of mary shelley’s frankenstein, i noticed that one of my favorite lines, “Clerval was a being formed in the very poetry of nature”, had an annotation by Shelley connecting it to The Story Of Rimini by Leigh Hunt.
i obviously checked it out, and found out that that line was describing PAOLO from dante’s inferno… as in paolo and francesca… THE star-crossed lovers… francesca was in an arranged marriage (familiar?) and sinned by falling in love with paolo… and theyre together in hell and regret nothing…
i’m actually weeping over this being a canon parallel. go stream francesca by hozier one billion times
SPOILERS FOR FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!!
HE’S DEAD???? he was the 2th best character wtf
Why do they describe Frankenstein that way like I keep imagining him as like a skinny short pretty guy....help??? also the romantic tension was crazy...bro called his friend a good boy after he sat down for him and shared a dirty wineglass....kind of love them tbh
This might become a new interest of mine might go read the whole thing...at least it might pay off in the future
