AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE

No thing defines a man like love that makes him soft, and sentimental, like a stranger in the park

For a few moments, I see YOU.

I adore the placement choices in this scene. The idea of Victor delivering this line while looking into a mirror was so *chef’s kiss*

He finds the creature grotesque because despite his best efforts, the Creature was not made in his image. Just like his father, Victor wanted a clone of himself in mannerisms, ambition and spirit. And just like his father, he got a child who is his own person. And Victor simply can’t cope with that. Just. Like. His. Father.

Do you think this is the young Victor, lonely and afraid and loving his mother deeply, looking out at the Victor he has become and acknowledging this? That in his ambition to best his father, to best GOD, he’s defiled himself that much? That he is no longer gentle, no longer… human?

He’s shown in a very uncharitable light from the start. But moreover, Elizabeth blows that out of the water with a very simple line. When Victor tells her that the Creature has no understanding and she says “Yes, but you do.”
