Reading this I'm reminded of Alisdair Gray's "Poor Things" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Things

...wherein the narrator believes he has brought a woman to life, Frankenstein-style, and is teaching her about the world, but at the end it turns out that he was a fantasist and Bella is only odd to him because she is a modern independent woman (a suffragette, etc), and he is mired in the past.
