"oh, frankenstein, be not equitable to every other, and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. remember, that i am thy creature; i ought to be thy adam; but i am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. every where i see bliss, from which i alone am irrevocably excluded. i was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. make me happy, and i shall again be virtuous."
"how can i move thee? will no entreaties cause thee to turn a favourable eye upon thy creature, who implores thy goodness and compassion? believe me, frankenstein: i was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity: but am i not alone, miserably alone? you, my creator, abhor me; what hope can I gather from your fellow-creatures, who owe me nothing? they spurn and hate me."
