Frankenstein's Finale: The Authority of an Author
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After Victor refuses to make a companion for the monster things spiral out of control. The end of the novel takes us full circle back to Walton on the Arctic Ocean. Hopefully Walton has learned the lessons Frankenstein ignored.
*Correction in the episode. I say near the end that Shelley can't save her characters, but what I should have said is that she is unwilling to save them.
