I have my GCSEs in a week and I’m ranting to the group chat about Frankenstein adaptations and how angry I am about Henry Clerval being cut out of everything. In fact, you know what, I’m posting them here because the injustice of Henry Clerval in pop culture can’t be contained to the group chat

#the bit about Elizabeth and Victor’s relationship was a bit vague #I mainly meant that it’s just that their relationship in the novel is pretty open for interpretation and even then it isn’t the FOCUS #even though a lot of adaptations try to portray it as the focus #apparently Hollywood doesn’t care about gothic romance and loving marriage until it means switching up the whole focus of the plot #to make Victor as heterosexual as possible #where was all this when you were making any Dracula adaptation ever?#sorry Jonathan and Mina are actually in a healthy relationship and not cousins so we have to ruin it apparently #classic literature #gothic lit #goth lit #gothic literature #classic lit #frankenstein weekly #frankenstein #henry clerval #victor frankenstein #elizabeth lavenza #clervalstein
