Hi kids!

This will be a bit different. Not so much fun and frolic as explanation and exposition. If you'll bear with me, there are some startling points I'd like to make.

First, an explanation of the title "Frostenstein, whose the Monster?". Of course this is a twist on the book "Frankenstein", written by Mary Shelley almost 200 years ago. This is not to be confused with the TV character Herman Munster or the horror movie visage. Frankenstein was the name of the scientist who created the monster. Please remember that fact, it will be made relevant shortly.

Now for the exposition.
Mary Shelley wrote "Frankenstein" aka "The Modern Prometheus" in the year with no summer, 1816. She was 18 years of age, while on holiday at Lord Byron's villa in Switzerland. It was way to cold to play outside, so they made up spooky stories. Lord Byron penned a story that, from which, the author John Polidori created "The Vampyre".



The story of Frankenstein and his Monster is started by Captain Robert Walton. An explorer and seeker of knowledge, not unlike Dr. Frankenstein. The Doctor is rescued by Walton at the north pole and relates the tragic tale to him.



To (try to) make this short, Frankenstein wants to create something beautiful. Instead he creats a horrid creature. He despises what it has become. He abandons his creation and flees.

The Monster, has a misguided attempt to befriend a young boy by force. This backfires and the boy curses him and he is angry towards the boy. To silence the boy, he forcefully covers his mouth and ends up smothering him to death.

Frankenstein comes home to discover his murderous creation and tries to destroy it. However, the monster is too strong and over powers his creator. The Monster becomes self aware and much smarter. He tries to reach out to people in a nice way but is rejected again because of his utter repulsiveness.

Tired of the fight, Mr. Monster asks Frankenstein to make him a monster hottie and offers to dissapear from the scene. Frankenstein thinks this is a good idea.



After starting on the hottie, Frankenstein thinks better of it and destroys her, this pisses off the Monster (duh) who gets back at the Dr. by killing off those closest to him.

The end result is that Dr. Frankenstein chases the Monster to the ends of the earth (North Pole) where he is found by Captain Walton at the beginning of the story. The Capn' relates that after Frankensteins death, the Monster mourns over the body of his creator. He ends up destroying himself.

To summarize, Mr. Frost has created his monster. He has most likely, privately, discovered how horrible his creation is. This monster is already killing that which it attempts to befriend. Will Mr. Frost try to kill his creation or will he flee? Will the monster try to put on a 'good' face and make nice with eAmerica? Will the monster try to leave with some dignity but not be able to? Will Mr. Frost chase the monster to the ends of the earth desperately seeking to kill it? Will this lead to Mr. Frost's demise and the monsters ultimate defeat?

The story is yet to play out before us.

Remember, Frost is not the monster, merely the creator.

I've said my piece. What do you think?
