Talk:Frankenstein/Notes

The plot summary has the wrong appearance. In the book, Adam, the 'monster', was incredibly beautiful except for the watery and discolored eyes. 68.7.79.93 (talk) 23:31, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

The section about Shelley's view of Prometheus is a pretty big assumption with no real source to back it up. I don't think this article is the right place to be making an argument about how Mary Shelley may or may not have felt about Prometheus. Actiasluuna (talk) 17:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
