Creature Discomforts
Re: Creature Discomforts
Several philosophical themes can be deduced from the story of Frankeinstein.
1. If you are Jew, don't make a artificial life. This is clear contradiction to the Golem story.
2. If you have a German-sounding last name then you are expected to create nothing but monsters of all creeds, sizes, shapes. This is in direct contradiction to Beethoven's Ninth, the Pastoral symphony.
3, If you are a writer in the English language, you'd better make the evil character into a german bloke.
4. If you are a writer of the English language you have a chance of a snowball made of styrofoam to publish anything that is not gorey or Igor-y.
5. If you want to write a best seller in the English language, forget that. All themes and story lines and styles have already been written by a million monkeys behind a million type writers and keyboards.
