Frankenstein's monster with female privilege


The original Frankenstein's monster was chased down and burned at the end. Better that than starve to death before he had a chance to gain his motor skills and life skills. Bad behaviour is seen as deplorable, ungodly, evil and the creature must be distinguished.

The Poor Things monster has the triple whammy of female privilege, pretty privilege, and rich privilege. Quite the powerful potion.

While learning the motor skills and life skills she had the fortune of having people looking after her, paying for her bed, meals and showing her the world. Then when losing the rich privilege (not entirely because she had some money stashed away to escape being poor) with no skills to make any money gets an only fans and everything is fine. Any bad behaviour is excused, seen as silly mistakes, "exploration" and "growth".

Things turn out amazing while she sips cocktails at the end and has an entourage of lackeys willing to kiss her feet, and look after her.
