Frankenstein
pg. 67-70
Victor
is on a journey to find the being he created. He travels a distance across a
frozen lake and suddenly sees a figure approaching him. Victor ran into the
creature he brought to life. At first Victor is furious to see it. He says, “Devil!”
I exclaimed, “do you dare approach me?” Obviously Victor has hard feelings
towards his creation. The creature says, “I expected this reception, all men
hate the wretched; how then must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living
things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou
art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us. You purpose
to kill me. How dare you sport thus with life?” The creature basically tells
Victor to chill out. The creature killed people because he didn’t know any
better. He was made out of spare body parts that Victor found and somehow got a
brain. The creature doesn’t understand how Victor could be as mad as he is when
Victor made the creature in the first place. The creature and Victor talk for a
while. Victor only has negative things to say and doesn’t make his point clear.
The creature, on the other hand, gets his point across very clearly. He
understands that he is unwanted and unneeded but he doesn’t quite understand
why Victor wants to kill him, because he was created for a purpose. The
creature forms a decent argument, he kind of sounds philosopher-like, he’s on
that Aristotle game. The creature doesn't sound like a monster to me, he forms better sentences than his creator!
