Frankenstine

You, doubtless, recollect these papers. Here they are. Everything is related in them which bears reference to my accursed origin; the whole detail of that series ofdisgusting circumstances which produced it is set in view; the minutes description of my odious and loathsome person is given, in language which painted your own horrors and renderedmine indelible. I sickened as I read. `Hateful day when I received life!' I exclaimed in agony. `Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even _you_ turnedfrom me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance.Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.”
-Chapter 15, Frankenstein

One of the thematic concerns that isfound throughout the entire book is that one of beauty. Because of this, I believe that the quote mentioned before is the perfect example of how society shuns those who don’tmeet up to these standards. I find it completely interesting that the monster questions his existence, and has come to recognize that he is more of a “mad-scientist”experiment than an actual human being. Moreover, he is able to recognize that within this shallow society, he would probably never have any type of companionship because of otherpeople’s perceptions.
I also like that fact that the papers or Victor Frankenstein’s diary of the monsters creation is mentions. This is simply because it’s the only type ofhistory that the monster has come to find out. He has no parents, brothers or sisters; he has a life with no history, and to make matters worst a creator who never cared for him.
