You act as if no one on gfy is cultured or educated. The truth is that Frankenstein was intended to be an entertaining read for the masses and, therefore, can be classed as pulp fiction (in the literary sense of the meaning, not dictionary.com).
I've written over a 100 horror screenplays in the last 16 years and, when it comes to the cultural history of horror and it's origins, I'm informed.

In other words, you have no reply to the arguments I gave, are unaware of the literary meaning of pulp fiction (the literary meaning: stories published in pulp magazines from the turn of the century to the early 1950's - the pulp era - which was the basis for the current common usage of the term), and are, simply put, quite fond of speaking out of your ass.
Frankenstein was an early precursor to pulp fiction, but it most certainly was not pulp fiction itself. Aside from that, to say that almost all fictional literature falls into the category of "pulp fiction" is plain bullshit.
There are many cultured and educated people on GFY, but you are not among them
