Funny how language changes because I always thought a snowflake was a wimp rather than anything to do with political views.

The article reads like a parody, but I suppose it was genuine. Interesting that online, a lot of the comments are scathing about the lack of comprehension of the book. My memory is that Karloff's version in the film, played it for sympathy, and that was in the 30s, I think.
The other weird thing is that the headline suggests that a professor thinks that the monster would be protected by human rights act, but if you read down, it's the opposite! Is this a wind-up?

Yes, the Karloff film is incredibly sad.

I wonder is the Sun of the day has a review being disgusted at the portrayal of the monster in the Karloff version and giving out a free torch and pitchfork for angry monster hunting.

Name and shame the monsters!

Frankenstein! Dracula! Mr Hyde! These monsters live amongst us, unemployed bloodsucking deviants!

Frankenstein was the name of the scientist - not his creation.

I share the same surname as the people that created me. Monster Frankenstein is a perfectly respectable name.
