Janky Book Makes Following Difficult

   Because my book is a bit different from the rest, I am a bit off with what I thought I should read for last classes' discussion. However I found importance in what is chapter 10 of my book and what I assume is chapter 2 of section 2 in the rest of the classes'.
   Victor spends the day hiking through mountains and valleys. He is overcome with awe at the "sublime and magnificent scenes" before him. Nature is able to subdue him and his rage against the creature. He says that the scenery and the animals "all gathered round me and bade me be at peace." It is as Victor often tells Walton; the forces of good try to save him, but the evil forces push him back to his destiny.
   At the top of the glacier Victor reflects on the gloom he felt earlier and his contemplation of suicide. "My heart, which was before sorrowful, now swelled with something like joy." But almost on cue the creature appears and sends him back into a rage. While reading this I remembered the emphasis in the discussion that there was no proof for the creatures involvement in William's death. Reading from Victor's perspective, we are made to jump to the conclusion that he is guilty. This scene would cause a dramatically different reaction from Victor had he taken the modern perspective of innocent till proven guilty. He may have reasoned with the creature and taken it back into his home, educating and socializing it. Instead he immediately responds "Devil, do you dare approach me?"
   The creature responds with sadness. "I expected this reception. All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things!" He tries to reason with Victor, with much difficulty before finally convincing him to listen to his tale.
   This scene reminds me of the initial sighting of the creature from the ship. Do you think that the creature was trying to flee from Victor because it knew society hated it? Was it choosing isolation over being despised or being forced to use violence to defend himself? Must Victor kill the creature to regain his life, or does he just need to learn to let the monster go and live on?
