Oh sorry, I did not took the time to answer. My bad.

Well I am a Frenchman who loves fiction and a contributor to this wiki since 2010, who was appointed admin.

I would say that the history of Frankenstein is mostly a tale about the disasters of exclusion and an illustration of the "Poor Comunication Kills" trope. A plea against discrimination and judgement of all kind. Despite his hideousness, the monster is highly intelligent and craves for acceptance as much as any human, yet people fear him at first sight and drive him away. If only Victor Frankenstein, or the blind man's family took time to know what treasures lied beneath the ugly mask, it would have avoided much suffering.

It can also be read as a warning not to meddle with everything in science, especially things we understand too little, and the fate that could befall on those who play the "sorcerer in training".

My favourite moment is when the monster lives near the blind man's family's house, learn from them to talk and to read, and takes part in their life. A real moment of happiness.

I must admit that I did not hear of I Frankenstein. I would say I am curious.

Happy new year to you as well by the way.
