Knowledge is understanding Frankenstein isn’t the monster
Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein is the monster
And actually reading the book is understanding that Frankenstein wasn’t the monster
His biggest crime was abandoning his creation. His creation’s biggest crime was the multiple murders
I’m not going to justify the murders, especially the child, but the common people were beating him everywhere he went. This guy was a genius who just wanted a friend.
Knowledge is having read the book and seeing both parties acknowledge that their relationship is familial, that Frankenstein is a surname, and thus recognizing that there is both the Doctor and Monster Frankenstein.
They’re both Frankenstein, and also they’re both monsters. Victor shouldn’t have made the monster, and he should’ve done more to stop it, but the monster was also an asshole. Being treated like a monster doesn’t make it okay to act like one.
Ethics is understanding that the reason he’s the monster is because he’s a neglectful and abusive parent.
