A Rose by any other Name wrote: I believe that things happen because they are written in the book. That the book is a precursor, that perhaps dictates what happens. My other theory is that what we are watching isn't actually happening its just a bedtime story being told to a child out of said book.

But Frankenstein isn't in the book, and he still exists. Perhaps the book is one of many, but it couldn't be the sole source of the show's reality.
