An activist is born?

Son: We read Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” in school this week.
Dad: Really? I remember reading that when I was kid. What did you think of it?
Son: I think the townspeople discriminated against the monster, because they didn’t understand him.
Dad: (thinking) That is an interesting take. I’d say that nowadays, you could very well have a civil case for the monster.
Mom: Hi honey! Your father tells me you were reading Frankenstein in school.
Son: Yeah, I’m considering writing a follow-up paper, suggesting that the monster was discriminated against.
Mom: Well, that explains the visitors you have in the living room…
Son: Huh?
Son: I’ll be right back. I have to go change my shorts.
Monster 1: Wait, we have a great lobbying campaign we’d like to run past you!
Monster 2: Can we pay you in gold?
Monster 3: I’d like to seek restitution for the mental anguish I have endured since reading Frankenstein.
