Topic2 : Nature
Topic3 : Tragedy
THEME: Appearance isn't always who you are on the inside.
-I chose this quotation that the monster said because it shows how he felt about being lonely and how he was treated, even though he was of nice nature.
" I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on."
"we are unfashioned creatures, but half made up, if one wiser, better, dearer than ourselves -- such a friend ought to be -- do not lend his aid to perfectionate our weak and faulty natures."
-Page 14
"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, they creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us."-This quote said by the monster, Frankenstein shows that people hate him by the way he looks but yet his creator, Victor isn't hated and he's the one who created the monster.
-Page 83
"When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, the, a monster, a blot upon the earth from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?"
-Page 105
"I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create."-I chose these two quotations because they reflect the them alienation and loneliness which was what the monster "Frankenstein" was. It tells us how lonely and unaccepted he is.
-Page 129
"Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me Man, did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?"
-Title page
-The monster conceives of himself as a tragic figure, comparing himself
to both Adam and Satan. Like Adam, he is shunned by his creator,
though he strives to be good. I chose this quote because it shows that the monster understands how alienated he is from the world.
