Blog #5 The Monster

"You accuse me of murder, and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature." -page 69

This is basically a slap in the face for Frankenstein from the monster that he created. He is essentially being called a hypocrite by the creature that he has given life to. I find this very interesting and surprising because it shows how intelligent the monster really is. The monster is fully aware of his circumstances, which is extremelty impressive and unexpected at the same time. This scene is also very important because it conveys that the creature has feelings. He is hurt and upset by the fact that his creator completely abandoned him. The monster also shows his intelligence during this part of the book when he convinces Frankenstein to listen to what he has to say. He basically outsmarts Victor, giving him no choice but to listen to the monster's tale. This scene is a key part of the story, because it allows the reader to learn about the creature and better understand him.
