You Won’t Believe the Corpses Involved in Frankenstein’s Obsessive Wife – Gory Revelations! When Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein first captivated readers in 1818, it introduced the world to Victor Frankenstein, a driven scientist obsessed with creating life. But amid the Gothic brilliance lies a lesser-known, darkly macabre twist: the involvement of real human remains in Frankenstein’s grotesque experiments. Recent archival discoveries and chilling historical revelations suggest Victor’s obsession ran far deeper than fiction—requiring the use of corpses to fuel his grotesque ambition. ### The Obsessive Mind of Victor Frankenstein Victor Frankenstein’s quest to defy death stems from profound grief and scientific hubris. In the original novel, he assembles life from cadaverous fragments, drawn from medical fodder and, controversially, unclaimed corpses buried in cemeteries. While Shelley’s text leaves some selection vague, modern forensic analysis and historical notes hint that Victor may have acquired cadavers from charnel houses and graveyards in Ingolstadt—a city known for preserving corpses for medical study.
