Usually, I would never blog about sports. However, when I saw this article about the Huskies as Frankensteins, I was drawn in. The article talks about the profound disappointment of their season so far, and Coach Romar's tactic on getting his players on track. He shocks his players by asking them, "'If you could be any body part, what would you be?'" His players were completely caught off guard, because Romar is known to be a screaming banshee rather than a philosophical man. After all the players answered, Romar goes on to say, " To function properly, every part of the body is necessary." The players go on to have a great season. This relates to Frankenstein, because everyone in the novel plays a part. Whether it be a sweet, soft-spoken maid, or a crazed scientist. Everyone contributed to the prejudice, isolation, fear, and love that is presented within the novel. Like the monster, the players find their dignity and pride again. The monster forgets himself and lives up to the stereotype that society has assigned to him. He starts behaving like a monster. However, he eventually centers himself and returns to his normal state.
