I know I'm going to be insane about Lisa Frankenstein for the rest of the year and I loved every bit of it. Today, I want to talk about female rage, especially teenager female rage portrayed in the movie.

I was a teenage girl not that long ago (notably in the late 2010's, when I hadn't even known I was non-binary), and what I remember about it is that people, (family members, teachers, adults in my life) never wanted me to be angry. I was a ball of emotions, but I had to be the rational one. I had to be the centered one. Not my little brother, or even my older brother, not my male classmates, just me and the other teenage girls. I couldn't lose my head or I was a bitch. I couldn't cry or I was a sensitive baby. I had to be happy or I wasn't worth the attention of others.

Lisa has the same problem every other girl has. If you have complex emotions, like grief or anger or sadness, nobody wants to see them. You can deal with that stuff on your own. Taffy gets the attention because she hides those "unsavory" emotions behind smiles and mascara. When she finally shows any kind of trauma, she is ignored, thrown away like a piece of garbage.

That's why I love Lisa and the Creature's relationship. The Creature can tell that Lisa is struggling, and he knows the consequences of what it is to be a woman whose emotions are different or hard to hide. He saw it in the early 1800's, where woman were considered crazy or filled with hysteria if they didn't conform to the standards men wanted them to be. They had wandering womb syndrome, or they were old maids, or they were locked up, literally hidden from society.

He sees Lisa struggling, and does everything in his power to make her feel validated in her struggles. Her rage doesn't make him hate her, just the opposite. Her sadness is his vindication to go after the ones that hurt her. When she feels happy, true happiness, he does too. He accepts her for the flawed human being she is, and in return, so does she.

Everything she does for him only changes him physically. His emotions never change for her. He doesn't get mad at her when she acts irrational. He's jealous when she goes to Michael's, but still drives her anyway and protects her when she gets hurt, literally shielding her with his body.

More movies need to show that teenage girls that are flawed. Teenage girls are angry. They aren't pretty little flowers. They feel rage and anger in a system when their pain is mitigated.

I want more teenage girls in film to fight people, get angry, chop off abuser's hands, or just allowed to show those "bad" emotions. It doesn't make them villains. It doesn't make them horrible people. It makes them human.

Lisa Frankenstien is to me what Jennifer's Body was to millennials what Heathers was to Gen X and I think there's something sacred about that.

#something something female rage but the rage is just murdering people #also just the nuance that whitecishet men ignore #Lisa isnt a tribut to Dr. Frankenstein shes a tribute to Mary Shelley #i have a lot of thoughts and feelings on the mental health vs literature vs romanticization of mental illness in artists #that i wont go into bc this is tumblr #and no one wants to hear how the new cult romcom relates to thesis #but i LOVE her okay?#lisa frankenstein #lisa frankenstein 2024

"Thank you for being nice to me when no one else was. I did notice. It's just that your mom was so heinous that I'd already decided that you were too. You're the type of person who usually bullies me or looks right through me. But you didn't. You actually went out of your way to try to tell people I was part of your family. You really actually wanted me to be your sister. You are, you know? You are my sister. You're a great person, Taff. And I'm sorry I hurt you. I love you."

Sometimes avant-garde art films with themes you’re supposed to figure out on your own aren’t actually “bad” & you’re just upset America Ferrera didn’t stand up in the middle of it to explain what the movie is about.

“Listen to me, Frankenstein. You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. Oh, praise the eternal justice of man!”

They say time heals all wounds. But that's a lie, time is the wound. Takes you further and further away from that place when you were happy. Makes those good smells go away.

Really hope this goth phase ends soon.

Do you think the flatness of the female characters in "Frankenstein" might be possible evidence that Percy Shelley was the real author and that he just dictated it to Mary? Not that I believe that theory, but have you ever been tempted to believe it?

Not at all!

Firstly, being a woman is no guarantee you can write complex female characters. *swings arms wildly at like, so much evidence*

Secondly, ideal female heroines was something of a thing during Jane Austen and Mary Shelley's time, it's why Austen was so revolutionary*. The heroines in Belinda and Evelina (both written by women), which came before Frankenstein, are very flat and perfect, always doing the exact right thing if they could find out what it was. Those are the two novels I've read, but from summaries of others from the time period this was a strong trend.

Thirdly, Frankenstein is about Viktor. Elizabeth only exists so her death can be the final straw to break Viktor's mind. While giving her character a bit more development would have been nice, it doesn't really add to the story.

Lastly, you could easily make the argument that since Frankenstein is mostly told by Viktor himself in recollection, he could be idealizing Elizabeth. After all, she's the reason he's chasing a monster to the ends of the earth, she had better be worth revenge right?

Also, I suspect those people are just bitter that an eighteen year old woman managed to write such a revolutionary novel and create an entire genre.

*I've only read Frankenstein, I don't know if Mary Shelley writes more complex women in other novels. And Mary was revolutionary in her own way!

Sometimes I think about how Victor Frankenstein went to school for and studied science and medicine for years, but when he started building the Bride for the Creature and went "oh God oh shit what if they can reproduce" he didn't think to just. Not give her a reproductive tract

(yes I know there are about a thousand other reasons making the Creature a bride was a bad idea, but like. This specific one was medically solvable Victor, come on)

#frankenstein #frankenstein 1818 #mary shelley #victor frankenstein #like i get the understanding of female anatomy was bad back then but like.#victor had to at least know you need a uterus to carry a child. just “forget” to give her one dude its not that hard #yes i know i sound like cinemasins #this is all a joke

i feel like as much as i love the "good for her" trope, i feel like painting a movie's entire arc as that trope is often reductive to the reason it's being used. in jennifer's body, is she killing men who are skeevy and could be considered deserving? yes, so good for her. but that doesn't mean jennifer's body is a movie about someone snapping and killing men because she doesn't have a care in the world. it's about how patriarchal violence and trauma affect women, and affect female friendships, and taking a semblance of that unfairness and turning it around on the perpetrators.

#lisa frankenstein got me thinking abt this bc it's similar there #not as the reason behind but #film painted as a good for her film that is actually much deeper than that #also female ''friendship''#also i apologize i haven't seen jennifer's body recently #so might be slightly off but still. there's very much a reason behind a good for her trope #that kinda loses its meaning behind the catharsis of women going crazy #txt #lensoriginals
