Frankenstein Swap AU
if you read and enjoyed dr jekyll & mr hyde (or the glass scientists), frankenstein, dorian gray, etc—odds are you’ll enjoy a much lesser-known but just as good gothic novel called the private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner.
you can look up a much better summary than i can provide, but it’s an amazing early exploration of religious extremism and the indoctrination of young people, the nature of free will, mental psychoses, and human identity. not to mention the author’s commentary on scotland’s national identity.
it utilizes the gothic doppelgänger trope and explores dual identities in a way that is completely different from jekyll & hyde or dorian gray. our irredeemable main character is a wet dying baby bird found in a mouldy cardboard box at the side of the road with delusions of grandeur and religious trauma. he makes victor frankenstein look downright self-aware in comparison. oh yeah and the devil is there too btw
i’m literally just begging someone to read it it actually changed my brain chemistry
(me gil-martining people into reading this book)
SPOILERS FOR FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!!
HE’S DEAD???? he was the 2th best character wtf
I’m reading Frankenstein right now and nobody prepared me for how gay Victor and Henry are
Also when Clerval stayed with him while he was sick 👀
Anyway I hate Victor, here’s the boy
A difficult conversation between Victor Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Professor Preobrazhensky on the topic:
"My son is a complete disappointment"
Why is Polygraph Polygraphovich Sharikov doing work on the topic:
"The most famous headcanons about Edward Hyde in goth lit fandom"?
Just imagine Mr. Hyde doing all this shit.
THEIR BEHAVIOR IS IDENTICAL!!
Okay, there are French, Soviet, Czech film adaptations...
Is there an Italian film adaptation of "The Strange Case..."? Goth lit fandom, pls, help!🙏
Yeah, I need this information for a stupid goth lit and soviet lit crossover.
Art trade for @eksentrismi with Dr. Jekyll from the 1986 cartoon!
I really like this moment in the cartoon, where he wrote his observations in his personal diary. Get a lofi hip hop girl vibe, lol. After all, the designs in this cartoon are VERY gorgeous!
