Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"I sickened...turn from me in disgust?" 113
"I sickened...turn from me in disgust?" 113
There is a lot of confusion and anger that Frankenstein's creation feels throughout the novel. He doesn't understand why he was created. He was suddenly brought into the world and from that moment on was just hated by anyone who laid eyes on him. He doesn't understand why his own creator doesn't want to lay eyes on him: "Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?" The creature feels like an abandoned child who keeps trying to reach out to a parent who won't respond. The hatred and disgust that his creator feels towards him symbolize abandonment, and loneliness.
