What a horrible night to have a curse

Cost

I think one of the reasons why tree law is so popular and people are so enthusiastic about it is because a big, old tree being killed feels so awful. You've got something that took years or decades to get that big, that provides so many benefits, and then it's just...gone and irreplaceable. Of course people are like oh boy, you didn't think that thing was valuable and now the law is gonna come for you and you're gonna regret it.

And it feels like one of the few cases where the rich (not the mega rich, but the regular rich) actually get held to account for their crimes, because the punishment is designed to match the actual damage they do. You cut down a bunch of your neighbor's trees to make your property more valuable? The punishment is basically the cost of your property.

have you seen her?? 🥺

I love the ways that the Frankenstein novel subtly questions the unquestionable elements of godhood and creation simply by putting a human in the role. The Creature demands that Victor create him a wife and give her to him, like God created Eve specifically for Adam’s loneliness.

Having Victor question whether a second creation would want the purpose she’s created for underhandedly asks: what if Eve didn’t want to be given to Adam?

It would definitely track with all the explorations of the trauma of motherhood and the mother’s role that Shelley seems to be processing through the story. What if the mother of all humanity didn’t want to be a mother?

Never forget Mary Shelley's mother was Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the early leaders of feminist thought, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Women.

So no, this is not a stretch at all
