Quotes
Loneliness and isolation- The creature is now feeling more isolated
and alone than he ever has before throughout the novel, with the
last of his hopes of consolidation and friendship (which he rooted so
firmly in the cottagers) ripped away from him. He speaks using
exclamations and rhetorical question ‘Cursed, cursed creator! Why
did I live? Why in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of
existence which you had so wantonly bestowed?’ It could be said
that the creature is at a peak of existentialism and is beginning to
show evidence of suicidal thoughts , wanting to ‘extinguish the
spark of existence’
Violence- Despite the creature’s natural innocence, as provided by
his attempts to save the young girl, drowning in the river, he is
finally corrupted by the influence of society and gives in to violence
‘I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind’. His rage is
essentially rooted in Frankenstein’s abandonment, so when the
young boy he meets mentions the name of Frankenstein, he is
finally induced into committing an act of murder ‘You belong then
to my enemy- to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge;
you shall be my first victim’. Shelley writes on the theme of
corrupted innocence; though the creature consistently attempts to
see the good in mankind, and him, attitudes of society towards his
deformity force him to become the monster that people presume
him to be.
