Ep1. un-Classics: Shipping FrankensteinXCreature

<p>Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, a few passages dramatically read, and a homoerotic interpretation of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature's relationship - what more could you want from a first episode?</p> <p>As mentioned in this episode, my analysis was conducted while studying English literature at university; my thesis was grounded in a thorough literature review of research with similar concepts. I do not claim that my interpretation is original or that it is "correct." The interpretation is <strong>purely literary</strong> and not meant to fetishize the novel or either character. Additionally, there are a couple sections where my timeline of the novel was skewed, but my view of the passages noted is not affected by these timeline slippages!
