"a flash of lightning illuminated the object and discovered its shape plainly to me; its gigantic stature, and the deformity of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me that it was the wretch, the filthy demon to whom he had given life."(shelly,60) This to me seems like it will be an important quote throughout the entire book. I have never read Frankenstein all the way through, nor have I ever seen the movie, but what I understand so far is that he is considered a hideous monster and most people are terrified by his presence. He is the gentle monster in my eyes. Another quote that I feel is important "'All men hate the wretched; how then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, they creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us."(shelly,83) This is important because even the creator was fearful of what he had created. This brought me to a random question involving religion....is our god/ creator possible afraid and shocked by what was created?
