"I am content to suffer alone" Page 165
I find myself confused as to whether the creature is good or bad. You had mentioned in class how Shelley intentionally did this. At times, I hate the creature, such as in the cemetery when Victor was mourning and it laughed in his hear. It laughed. I would have killed it right there. Yet when I think about it, I cannot help but wonder if it was conditioned to be evil. It had only witnessed, never experienced, love or compassion from anything in its miserable life. If you were hated by all, would you not turn evil? My final confusion as to whether or not I like the creature happened when, upon the death of Victor, it mourned for him. It cried because of what it had done, and had a final repentance for the deeds of its life. I found myself wanting to forgive it, even though it was the cause of Victor's death.
Also, random question. What the heck happened to Ernest? Is he still alive?
