    • Frankenstein
      • VICTOR:
        • "I suffered from living torture"
        • "A tear seemed to dim her eye when she saw us"
        • "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds..."
        • "The beauty of the dream vanished........horror and disgust filled my heart"
          • Victor is selfish, he only wants to create life to be thanked or praised by them-Punishment from God that it was wrong.
        • "I beheld the wretch- the miserable monster whom I had created."
          • Alliteration suggests confusion and shock as he can't fully communicate his horrors.
          • Victor takes responsibility to his actions- Realisation is shattered by his obvious prejudice towards the creature.
        • "It was the secrets of heaven and Earth I desired to learn."
        • "Seek happiness in tranquillity and avoid ambition..."
        • "But sorrow only increased with knowledge."
        • "Devil"- First word he said to the creature.

    • "I am alone and miserable. Only someone as ugly as I am could love me"
    • You are my creator, but I am your master; obey!"
    • "I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend"
      • Describes his nature as "benevolent". Use of past tense was "benevolent and good" appear to have been replaced by the creature's description and awareness of himself as a "fiend".
      • Personification of "misery", making the creature's evil nature was nurtured by society and it's rejection of him.
    • "I am malicious because I am miserable"
      • The creature only wants a friend in life, and reveals loneliness is the main cause of all the things he did to Victor, not revenge.
