chapters 14-16
The monster is constantly learning new things from the family he is eavesdropping on. He is learning about the history of their family more in depth now. After he finds the book, Paradise Lost, I think the monster is thinking that most of the world is going through what he is, thinking everyone is alone and unwanted. When he finds Victors notes it really hits him he was a mistake and disgusting. After the rejection by two people, the family and the drowning girl, the monster turns against humans and ends up strangling William, Victors brother. We can see that he has a lot of rage toward his creator, and does not feel any remorse for his killing.

ReplyDeleteAbadonment, lonliness and rage do seem to be dominant ideas here. People talk about hate and love being opposites and therefore almost kin somehow. But, I think I see the rage that Victor and his creature exhibit seems to be the opposite, and kin, of each other.
