There's a movie about Mary Shelly's life story with the same title as her name (you could watch it on Netflix. Elle Fanning and Douglas Booth played as Mary and Percy Shelly. There you could understand better about the drama and despair that Mary had through to create such a masterpiece.
Spoiler alert: she met Percy at 16. She created a lonely creature that was abandoned by his creator because she was also abandoned by Percy after he relentlessly chased her and made her fall in love with him. And on top of that, she also lost her first child due to Percy's selfishness.
Moral: don't get jealous of Mary if you haven't produced any single masterpiece even though you've passed Mary's age when she was writing Frankenstein. She was through a lot from a young age. It was common for girls in their teenage years to get married at that time, so her life 'started' sooner than we are now. Don't worry, we have our time. Each individual's story is different from both the story-line and time-line perspectives. So just enjoy your life and cherish every moment. You might want to use them in your story.

3: 50 Reminds me of the time the Scarlet Witch and Vision had twins. At this point in the comics it is revealed Scarlet Witch had gone mad and made up the twin boys out of magic and warped reality to suit this idea. When Vision was meant to be repaired/disassembled but couldn't be fixed which at some point died, this made the already hysterical Scarlet Witch go insane.

it is never explicitly mentioned that Victor assembles the monster of dead matter or part by part. Shelley is very vague about the process, and does not say outright that he is using corpses, only mentioning materials. This could be alchemical in nature.

Why is Ted-Ed translated into my language? I am here because I want it to be in its original language: ENGLISH! What makes YouTube think I'd rather read it in French? It makes no sense, the video is in English, do NOT change the title and description.

TedEd never ceases to draw on other sources for their legends each episode. Prometheus had his liver eaten by an eagle every day only for it to grow back and repeat the process, but I wouldn't doubt there are different versions

The book actually never directly states that Victor uses electricity to bring his monster to life. This misconception was created in movies since the book never explains how Victor brought his monster to life.

Can we get one on Lord Byron some time? That man is just awesome in all of the most messed-up ways, & his work is stunning. Mad, bad, & dangerous to know.

He's not a doctor, he's a college drop out who you'd think is more responsible that that considering he is. Well. In college
