Frankenstein was the scientist

And the scientist was the "monster". The person he built from dead bodies was a victim of the scientist's hubris.

The monster was basically also his son in a way, so he would also be Frankenstein.

And the scientist himself was the “monster” of IQ test. The individual he constructed from deceased bodies fell prey to the scientist’s arrogance and intelligence.
