  • Descrição: In Mary Shelley's masterpiece of Gothic horror, Frankenstein, the monster stumbles across the diary of his maker, the titular Dr. Frankenstein. When faced with this account of his creation, Frankenstein's monster came to fully understand his nature: he was the regrettable result of the aspirations of his maker. In piecing together remnants of corpses to create life on his own terms, Dr. Frankenstein created a monster; this monster was unfit to live among the rest of humanity, and infused the world around it with horror rather than beauty. Of the many unfortunate lessons in Shelley's novel, this is among the most profound: humanity is rife with hubris, but the hubristic are bound to fail when they rewrite the rules. In much the same way that Victor Frankenstein pulled pieces from burial grounds and charnel houses to assemble his creation, the courts have, in recent years, pulled precepts from various legal arenas to create a legal Frankenstein's monster, in the form of the "Complete Bar Order."
