I found this image on Facebook, which sparked this:
I realize the play by Peggy Webling used “Frankenstein” to refer to the monster before the movie, but I’m choosing to overlook that minor detail. 😉
-Eliabeth Hawthorne
What other movie adaptations have gotten unsuspecting students in trouble? Were you caught by any? Our English teacher actually let us get away with watching original The Scarlet Letter.

That first picture makes me laugh. So true.
TY, I’ve been saying that for years, not quite that eloquently. I always said Romeo is not a love story is a lust story about impatient teenagers who can’t even wait to see if their “beloved” is actually dead.
Fun. And smart! I like it 🙂
Thank you so much! ❤
Lol. It’s Frankenstein’s Monster, not Frankenstein the monster 🙂 Well, now it’s the second one.
Exactly. Thanks for commenting. I get this almost uncontrollable urge to correct people dressed up as “Frankenstein”.
It’s Mr Hyde. Enough said.
[… and by the way, it’s pronounced ‘Jeekle’]

Oh I never knew about the pronunciation. Thanks for sharing.
The Romeo & Juliet one made me laugh; it’s actually true 🙂
Glad to be able to bring some amusement to your day. Thanks for commenting.
Love the Romeo & Juliet card. I remember most of us came to a similar conclusion when we read it in grade 8. We were really jaded eighth graders
Hahaha, I think people are swept up by the movie. Then again, some people think Twilight is romantic and I think Edward is a potentially abusive stalker, so maybe I’m just jaded as well.
