“…I turned with more attention towards the cottagers. Their happiness was not decreased by the absence of summer. They loved, and sympathized with one another; and their joys, depending on each other, were not interrupted by the casualties that took place around them. The more I saw of them, the greater became my desire to claim their protection and kindness; my heart yearned to be known and loved by these amiable creatures: to see their sweet looks turned towards me with affection, was the utmost limit of my ambition.”
— Mary Shelley
But if technology is to be trusted, the term good spirit of the forest appears nowhere in Frankenstein. I hate you + curse you forever, KENNETH BRANAGH.
This is for Paul and Wendy
Thank you.
