Frankenstein was the surname so, wouldn't they both be Frankenstein? In the sense that Victor, the doctor, created "the monster" would it not be feasible that they share the last name?

Frankenstein and the creature hated each other. They wouldn't want to share a name.

Sure, but since the monster was assembled from the cadavers of several people, it would be fitting if he carried their names too, so a septuple-barreled name is the obvious choice.

Lots of people make stuff that has their last name. I mean I probably wouldn't call someone's child stuff normally but names get given to other conscious beings you create. What's the difference between the monster or a child?

Well the main difference is the monster is sewn together from a bunch of dead people whereas a child is not that.

While speaking to Frankenstein, he tells him, "My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid to glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment...The picture I present to you is peaceful and human."

so yeah, I forgot that part. My copy is a 1963 paperback. It has a beautiful image on the cover but its starting to fall part, the cover has come apart from the seam. Its been a few years since I have read it but it is one of those books that stays with you, for sure!
