what does it say about us in society today that we think the monster's nameis frankenstein?

First it says to us that we do not know the story and gather most of our information from movies which are ill informed in terms of the content of the novel. We could make a case for the idea that Viktor Frankenstein is more of a monster than the monster himself, because of his desire to play God and his desertion of the monster once he realizes what he has done and the horror he feels he has created.
