Quotation:”Hateful day when I received life!…Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred”
Comment or Connection: This statement made by Frankenstein’s monster perfectly summarizes the conflict within the entire novel. It explains from the monster’s point of view that the monster is not a bloodthirsty killer but in fact a rejected and abused child who is only reacting to the cruel world around him.
Question: my question is what would the story look like had frankenstein not been such a bad father, how would the monsters and frankenstein’s lives changed had frankenstein raised him with love instead of rejecting him with fear?
