Look at you tearing me apart. I love my British accent. My Scottish one can use work, but the British one is spot on.

The Dr. had a lot of opportunities, but he also didn't realize what would happen when he created the creature. He didn't realize how grotesque it would turn out and he thought it died or disappeared. I don't remember now, but I know that he was lost for a bit before it showed up again and demanded that he make the creature a mate ,after it had started killing. Both sides are so sad. One can't be accepted into society no matter what it tries, and the other messes with human nature in a way they never should and has to pay the price.

It is not! And I'm the authority on that since I'm from London. XP

I don't fully buy that he didn't know how grotesque the creature would be, he was literally sewing dead people together to make it.

Okay fine. You win. You're right and get all the stars. My accents are a little terrible. At least I can have fun with them. That's the most important part. They make you laugh, and anything that makes you laugh is pretty perfect to me.

That is true, but it's hard to know when you're working with a face. It could have been a lovely face if he'd taken it from one person. What is true beauty, after all? I think that in some movies, they've had very ugly creatures become beautiful because of their hearts. If the monster chose not to kill in the end could he have been a redemptive story? Maybe even deserved a human partner? Who knows.

The only accent you can do that is actually okay is an Australian one for some reason.

I'm not questioning the whole 'beauty in the eye of the beholder' thing, I'm saying that I don't buy that Dr. Frankenstein deserves that much pity. He created something and then turned his back on it and ran, he ran from his responsibilities as a father/creator and then was surprised when the thing he made got upset.

Huh, I will keep that in mind.

Dr. Frankenstein was messing with life and death and the soul. He should have known it would backfire on him. No one messes with those powers and ever has it work out for them in storybooks. Plus, when a mother or father skirts their responsibilities in stories, unless they own up to it in some dramatic way it rarely ends up well for them either. I know these are sweeping generalities rather than specific drawn out details, but broad strokes work quite often when there are literary lessons to be taught.

In a way I'm surprised you've even read Frankenstein, I thought Bruce didn't bother with fiction and only gave you things like War and Peace to read.

I love you Dawn, but War and Peace is fiction and in fact has a beautiful love story in it. It's about five aristocratic families during the invasion of Russia by Napoleon. I can't remember when, but in the early 1900's I think. It's been a long time since I read it, and it was a long read. I think somewhere in my late teens. There's a lot of death in it, but the main couple gets married and eventually ends up happily ever after, somehow in the middle of all the death.

I was put to read a lot of great scholarly works. The non-fiction works would be things like The Art of War, and Machiavelli's The Prince, both great works on getting ahead in life. Then there was Steven Hawkings book .. what was it called, yes, a brief history of time. It was another good look at life, if that's what one wishes to glean from it. Most of these books, like others the older you get the more you realize that you need to make up your own decisions about what you believe, but they offer good advice. There were several others. I read a wide variety of things. I picked up things for myself as well. I mean, apart from training, my life was small. There was music, reading, training and a lot more training and being Robin, oh and the rest of school.

I love you too Dick, but hearing you go on about non-fiction is putting me to sleep.

Can we get back to discussing motorcycles rides and your arms around me?
