Mary Shelley does a fantastic job of portraying Frankenstein’s creature as the most humane ‘person’ in the book but also still as a monster. I say this as he is new to life’s wonders and deceits and is therefore still innocent when he is ‘born’.

However I rarely succeeded and I ended up running to my room, I felt like the creature. I was trying to kick-start my emotions with positivity but ended up with a negative result. The creature was denied the love which he needed in order to understand how the emotional side of life works and I can sympathize with
