I teach Frankenstein regularly. Victor Frankenstein is an idiot is pretty much it.

I despair that Goethe's Faust is that awesome since I recently gave my copy away, having been impatient with bits of it and thus mostly skimming. Oh well. The consequences of being (as I then was) an overworked adjunct professor teaching on three different campus and being tired and impatient. I was always Team Marlowe.
