Why did Bride reject Frankenstein's Monster?
She didn't realize they were of the same ilk?
shareAsk her next time you run into her at a club
shareFor your answer I recommend you read H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Outsider". It's a very short read, it's public domain, and you can find it online for free. Enjoy.
shareYou weren't kidding when you said it was a very short read.
That final line sent chills up my spine.
Can't stop the signal.
Bitch seemed more interested in Dr. Frankenstein. When she saw her intended mate it's like what the hell is this. The narcissism of some women.
shareThat's an interesting question, I don't know what it means either. I suffer the same I guess because I don't like people of my attractiveness level, I can't help it, and it is a wretched existence. I guess in the movie it refers to our innate superficial nature?
shareShe had no idea what appearances were or how she looked or why The Monster would be scary. I mean sure he's not punching his weight but she didn't know that.

Love means never having to say you're ugly. - The Abominable Dr. Phibes
She was a woman with instincts to fear the inhuman.
She was mentally stunted at the time, and didn't perceive what she now looked like.
Even if she could have, she still could have instinctually found the monster much more inhuman and frightening.
Think about how Frankenstein had his first creation experience the world around him. He kept him in a dark room to minimize exposure to stimuli and gradually introduced him to simple things like sunlight.
Compare that to the Bride's introduction to the world: Flashing lights, loud sounds, two guys in labcoats and an even bigger one attempting to hold hands with her. She came into existence and has all this thrown at her at once before she even has full faculty over her own body. Her reaction seems perfectly reasonable.
Well said.
shareI wish they would've brought her a mirror. If she was so horrified by the appearance of the monster I wonder what she would've thought of her own. That is, assuming she'd have the mental capacity to understand what she was looking at.
