The Benevolent Monster

" Believe me Frankenstein, I was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity; but am I not alone, misrably alone? You, my creator, abhor me; what hope can I gather from your fellow creatures, who owe me nothing? They spurn and hate me." (pg.96) This "monster" speaks this whole passage. He doesn't grunt or threaten Frankenstein's life. The monster speaks full thoughts and just wants to talk to his creator and be wanted by someone. Here, the reader also sees the theme of lonliness again. I believe that this interaction with the monster is quite ironic. This monster has progressively become more and more human over time and as time passes, it is Frankenstein that becomes less human. Victor is the one who becomes a child and tries to run away from his problems while the monster is the one who simply wants to speak to Victor. The monster displays benevolent qualities while Victor is mean and harsh. Frankenstein never gives his creation a chance at living.
