For years, the twins existed in a sort of haze, recovering from Raimut's brutality and from the aftereffects of the awful things they had done. They remained secretive and private and did not cultivate any significant friendships during this time, being afraid of being manipulated again. Eventually, they made the decision to leave Svet-Dmitrin and headed for the Free City of Wurmwald, hoping for a new start. Both were 30 years old at the time.

Jay is a person shattered by extreme trauma who has haphazardly put himself back together. The abusive treatment he underwent at the hands of his former mentor has left a lot of very deep wounds, not all of which have healed with the passage of time.

    In the novel Frankenstein, Marry Shelly definitely shows the influence of the Romantic Period. One of the most important features of the novel is the way in which the creature convinces Frankenstein to comply with his request in Chapter 17. Throughout the better part of their exchange, the creature's tone is reasonable in the extreme: in fact, his desire for a companion seems almost noble. In this way, he will divest himself of his longing for violence and revenge, and lead a blameless life. By aligning his maliciousness with his misery, he is implicitly blaming Frankenstein for what he has become: such an accusation, however, is effective in evoking the sympathy of both Victor and the reader.…
