Victor is shown to be a child who said to be a monster, probably due to his genius mind and capability that the average person can’t understood, can be seen through his experiments, bring back the dead to life, potions, creations.
Henry is supposed to be human, outstanding appearance, charming demeanour, composure in all cases/lack of obvious expression, good at socializing (business, lovers, …). We can dissect and understood him better through the reaction of his parts, “heart”, “head”, “dick”.
“Heart”, his heart is tied to Victor, even when the body is somewhere else, his heart urge and lead him back to Victor, established since the beginning and throughout the series. However, that heart is not strong enough to erase doubts of the mind, no matter whose mind it attached to, Adam or Henry. A devoted heart that makes him want to clean, cook, take care, and more for Victor, however prone to damage from loneliness.
“Head”, is the most complicated component of Henry, through dialogues exposed his high EQ, great analysis skills, very logical, almost abstained of emotions, from Victor words, as if V became a lab rat. A common trait of those minds, are doubts, doubts that usually manifest as cynical. Through the dialogues within this series, we can coined a few traits from Henry’s head.
- Thrills seeker, a dopamine junkie, he let things happens as long as he deemed it interesting, and dropped it the moment it’s not. Including chasing the main actress.
- He found Victor to be very interesting, he can’t stand the idea of not seeing Victor’s face/reaction, even during sex. He think lying V, pathetic V, crying V, … as cute, or interesting, this included when V feeling secure, loved, happy. He almost seems to yearned to consumes all of Victor like a ravenous beast.
- He seems to think his mind has complete immunity to emotions, especially love, deeming the love potion V made to be a sham potion. But as established before, V is a genius, if he believes that is a love potion, it should be. You can’t fill a water bottle more if it is already at max capacity, how can Henry fall in love with Victor, when he can’t love Victor anymore than he already has. This proves that he is blind towards his affection towards V.
- “head” mentioned “nothing can be changed, no matter Henry knows about V planning on killing his sex partners or not”, this means 2 things, he doesn’t care (enough) about his sex partners, whether they are alive or dead, to impact his actions, AND, it cannot change what leads to his death. If you consider the first thing he ask V when they first found him “do you still resent him”, we can assumed this is a question that bother the mind.
