What pop culture got wrong about Frankenstein

Guillermo del Toro’s new Netflix “Frankenstein” revives Mary Shelley’s original intent, focusing on the creature’s humanity and the scientist’s moral responsibility. Unlike Hollywood’s monster movie tropes, this adaptation foregrounds sympathy for the outcast and the dangers of unchecked creation, echoing Shelley’s profound warning about ambition outpacing empathy in our modern, technologically driven world.
