Fuck it, I'm burning down the rain forest and using AI to decipher the OP. Absolutely — let’s slow down and unpack what the original author was trying to express. Their writing was a bit tangled, but the meaning is actually pretty clear once you break it apart. Here’s a clean interpretation of what they were saying: What the original author meant 1. They’ve been watching old monster movies for story research. They’re working on a story idea, so they’re revisiting classic Universal monster films. 2. They like the 1931 Dracula. They specifically enjoy the Bela Lugosi version and seem to respect it as a classic. 3. They respect the Universal Frankenstein, but… They acknowledge that the movie version is very different from Mary Shelley’s original creature. They point out that: The literary creature is intelligent He reads the Bible, Paradise Lost, and philosophy He’s much more articulate and thoughtful than the movie version So they’re aware of the contrast between the “monster movie” version and the “well‑read, philosophical” book version. 4. They also respect Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But here they shift into something more personal. They say: They have anger issues They believe that in the story, Dr. Jekyll is the mask Hyde is the true self This is their interpretation of the character — that Hyde isn’t a separate being but the real personality underneath Jekyll’s polite exterior. 5. The overall theme They’re comparing different classic monsters and reflecting on how: The movie versions simplify things The literary versions are deeper And in the case of Jekyll/Hyde, they personally relate to the idea of a hidden, more volatile self In one sentence They’re saying: “I’m researching old monster movies for a story. I like the 1931 Dracula, I respect the Universal Frankenstein even though the book version is much smarter, and I relate to Jekyll/Hyde because I think Jekyll is just a mask hiding the real self, Hyde.” ...that's a lotta analysis. Sorry environment.

I'm in the market for a emulation-based handheld, that's under $100. Y'all have any suggestions? This is my most likely purchase at the moment, but I'm still researching. https://mangmi.com/products/mangmi-air-x?variant=51817216409967

Research although I do like the original Dracula a lot well the 1931 version I also respect the universal Frankenstein obit ableist I mean considering the literary version is arguably a well read man me read through the whole Bible Paradise Lost a lot of philosophy and I also kind of have a begotting respect for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde albeit I have bad anger issues and not I'm also of the opinion he is masking did Dr Jekyll Persona is the mask and hide is the true self

I have a Gen Alpha brother. I once caught him singing California Dreamin, and all the Christmas classics are much older than him, so.
