Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein is the monster

Ethics is understanding that the reason he's the monster is because he's a neglectful and abusive parent.

If the monster was the doctor's son (or "son"), wouldn't they have the same surname?

If I created a monster, I'd like them to inherit my last name.
