    Later on in the passage the creature learns to avoid unpleasant feelings and knows how to get around them. For instance, when feeling hungry he searches for food just as an infant has a natural reflex to suckle when they are hungry. Another baby like trait the author describes is when the creature says, “I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; but feeling pain invades me on all sides, I sat down and wept.” When feeling helpless babies cry because that is the only way they can express their emotions. The creature is expressing himself by crying because there is no other way he is able to.…

    3b. Based on this cover, I believe that the creature is very vulnerable, as he is naked. In addition, I think the creature is ashamed of himself as portrayed through his curled up body language, almost “hiding” his body from the scientist or the society around him. Moreover, his face, which appears flustered, indicates his anger toward the scientist, who created him. Lastly, the creature’s white eyes may symbolize his childlike innocence, despite his fully- grown size. On the contrary, this image could also be representing how the creature views himself, as a…

    This previous quote is important because it elaborates that the creature has developed the exact way a child would, “I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; I knew and could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept” (page 90). The creature grows and develops as a toddler would, thus making him more childlike than most beasts.…

In vague ways, he remembered back to the youth of the breed, to the time the wild dogs ranged in packs through the primeval forest and killed their meat as they ran it down. …Thus, as token of what a puppet thing life is, the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again” (18).…

    After seeing the sight of the creature, Victor abandons himself from what he calls his own monster and realizes what he has done has been the opposite of exceptional. Victor’s abandonment of the creature shows his cowardice. At the first sight of his creation, Victor was, “Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room and continued a long time traversing my bed-chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep”(Shelley 43-44). Victor is unable to see the creature that he creates, causing him to regret his decisions and have nightmares. Victor hoped that his creature would be beautiful, so he could brag to the others what a genius he was. Instead, when Victor discovered the creature's ugliness he decided that's not what he wanted to represent. Victor decides that his experiment would be an embarrassment to himself and cause terror to the rest of the town. After finishing and viewing his experiment, Victor comments, “Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance”(Shelley 44). Victor realizes that no person would be able to bear the sight of the creature that he creates which causes him to abandon it because he doesn’t know what to do with him. Victor’s fearfulness causes him to accuse the creature of its own hideousness. Victor blames the creature by saying, “Accused creature! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you…

He was structured to in the essence of beauty, while the ‘Being’ was structured to be hideous and…
