I reread this after watching Poor Things, wanted a bit more context for what Poor Things was trying to do. Things that stuck out:
- I forgot that this story is framed as a story within a story within a story, e.g. an adventurer on a boat in the far north is hearing from Frankenstein about his creation of the monster, and then hearing about the monster's experience.
- Poor Things largely seems to be an exercise in asking "what would happen if the monster were treated kindly by most people it encountered?"
