Why is the 'Frankenstein' Ending Reversed?

Art is fun to interpret and discuss, so on that note, here is video essay number 3. (Of many to come I expect..) As always, I dive into the bts of making the film and the film itself, but I have avoided looking up anyone else's ideas before filming, so that everything is my own dumbass thoughts without being swayed by anything else. There may well be an answer already out there to this question, but I decided not to go looking for it before I recorded my own ideas. What do y'all think?
As always- SPOILERS for the film and story ahead.
