Frankenstein analogy mirrors German leaders and Kaiser in wartime
The author argues German professors, officials, and the Kaiser resemble Frankenstein’s creature and the German state’s brutality. He recalls Frankenstein’s origin, the monster’s plea for mercy, and parallels with German militarism, urging readers to see the cruelty behind ideological 'superstate' rhetoric.
