Zealousy
A being like me cannot be saved
Hideous and ridiculous
Wretched and crazed
In want of someone to trust
I envy Adam for such a loving Lord
For mine all I have is a hate stored
My intentions are full of benevolence
But all I am is violence
In the eye of the beautiful humans
This creature may wreak only ruins
Revenge envelopes my heart
Fragile humans may only fear
But I shall weep no tear
The boy’s death was my start
When will I not be jealous of them?
Who will feel zealous for me?

I saw this directly allude to important symbols in the novel which were “children,” “birth” and “death.” The monster was a “motherless orphan,” in connection to Shelley’s mother dying shortly after her birth. The amount of features in the novel from Shelley’s personal life was surprising. In Victor’s dream where he kissed Elizabeth but then it transforms to the corpse of his deceased mother, I didn’t notice the very subtleness that Victor thought the
