Frankenstein
Synopsis
As Victor Frankenstein dies, he tells a ship captain of the events that lead him there. He told the Captain about how he created a grotesque life form, abandoned it and was subsequently stalked by his creation. How as the monster followed Frankenstein, it left death and destruction in its wake.
Some of my favourite quotes
“he appeared to despise himself for being the slave of passion.”
“he may suffer misery and be overwhelmed by disappointments, yet, when he has retired into himself, he will be like a celestial spirit, that has a halo around him, within whose circle no grief or folly ventures.”
“destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction.”
“you believe yourself miserable, but I can make you so wretched that the light of day will be hateful to you.”
“Solitude was my only consolation.”
“I had been the author of unalterable evils”
“All joy was but a mockery which insulted my desolate state.”
“Shall I respect man when he condemns me?”
“If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear”
“Hasten, then, my dear friend, to return, that I may again feel myself somewhat at home, which I cannot do in your absence.”
“The fallen angel becomes the malignant devil.”
