Btw, if anyone wants like….Sources on sex work in the long 18th century, I’ve done masterposts of the books I’ve read over the years I’ve studied this topic here.
I also did two posts on the ‘real women’ of Harlots a.k.a. real Georgian era sex workers whose lives inspired or are similar to Harlots characters. Part 1 and Part 2!

frankenstein is about self loathing and recognition through the Other. it’s about the original sin. it’s about what we owe to our creations and each other. it’s about internalized homophobia and the monstrosity of a man desiring another man. it’s about Romance. it’s about romance. it’s about playing god. it’s about being transgender. it’s about the absent fathergod. it’s about society. it’s about unethical medical experiments. it’s about gay college dropouts. it’s about a big nasty monster dude who is, and i cannot stress this enough, spooky
