Through the concept of the Frankenstein complex, the author explores a pathology in the singular bond between a child and his(her) parent. When a symbiotic contract is set up, two attached persons lock themselves into a mortiferous process. Along the lines of Doctor Frankenstein’s creation, formed and then abandoned devoid of bearings in a society destined to reject him, the child lacking guidance in symbolic behavioural representations will seek to alleviate his or her feelings of insecurity through risk-prone behaviour. The dyad formed with his or her parent will inevitably run into a period of extreme disturbance on adolescence. Just like in the novel, a fateful end, made of violence and mutual destruction awaits them.
