There's a whole very literalized thread about how Frankenstein is all excited about creating life through SCIENCE while ignoring the possibility of creating life NATURALLY through LOVE (this happens while Elizabeth is attempting to convince him to sleep with her while Frankenstein awkwardly flails and shuts her down) and it's like ... a little subtlety would be OK, guys. We can pick up on ironic parallels without having things explicitly spelled out, I promise.
