Ranking gothic lit characters by the things they do instead of sleeping

(Note: This post is a joke, and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule is important)

11. Dracula: Being the worst

10. Robert Walton: Writing down everything Victor Frankenstein says

9. The Phantom (Erik): Stalking people, causing problems, working on an opera (Unrealistic, people are not actually productive when they stay up)

8. Jack Seward: His work (lame cause he’s bad at it), ignoring his emotions (realistic)

7. Utterson: Tracking down Edward Hyde (exciting)

6. Dorian Gray: Staring at his portrait (relatable, but lame), sinning (cool)

5. Griffin: Experiencing the consequences of his actions (relatable)

4. Johnathan Harker: Worrying about the vampires that are trying to eat him (exciting)

3. Adam Frankenstein: Reading Paradise Lost (cool), setting fires (fun!), starving in the woods (tragic)

2. Dr. Jekyll: Violence (fun!), being Edward Hyde (funner!)

1. Victor Frankenstein: Playing god (cool), angsting (realistic)

Captain Walton and Frankenstein’s Creature: *are crying over Victor Frankenstein’s corpse*

Perenelle Flamel: Did you know that this man *points at Dr. Faust* can bring people back from the dead?

Adam, the Flamels & the captain: *look at Dr. Faust*

Dr. Faust: Absolutely the fuck not.

I know if there was a Frankenstein version of Dracula Daily it would probably by divided into small sections or whatever but I think it would be funny if they did it the way it was in book, where you get a letter every few days and then you suddenly get all of chapter 1 to the first bit of chapter 24.

I didn’t realize it was a frame narrative until after I finished it, just thought some crazy shit was happening
