Talk:2799: Frankenstein Claim Permutations
Expanding on 1589: Frankenstein, clearly. Trimeta (talk) 03:17, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
The last permutation is a garden path sentence that starts off talking about the TV show Doctor Who. 162.158.62.175 03:21, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
- The title text seems straightforward enough to me, anyways: "No, the doctor (who creates Mary Shelley (in Frankenstein's novel)) doesn't have a name." Not much of a garden path sentence at all. 172.70.34.187 03:43, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
The best part of this comic is that every last one of these claims is wrong. In the original novel, Victor Frankenstein is an obsessive undergrad, notably with no medical degree. 172.71.151.35 03:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
You could argue rather that Walton and Saville were the names of the authors. The monster Shelly created was named Victor von Frankenstein. The tragic hero was unnamed. EebstertheGreat (talk) 04:02, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Pretty sure that Randall saw the image of the misprinted book where the title is Mary Shelly, and the author is Frankenstein. 172.71.151.35 06:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

No, Frankenstein is the name of the novel created by the monster (according to her sleepless readers) Mary Shelley. 172.68.34.38 08:12, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
The second permutation could be read in the "the scientist who abandoned his creation is the real monster" sense. --172.69.62.28 11:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
