- creature curses Victor his creator for his hideous appearence, and for being alive. Common thoughts of those contemplating suicide, like in his novel
- wanders through the nighttime woods howling like a beast with speed - immensely gothic
- turning point for the creature: 'There was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should i feel kindness towards my enemies? No; from that moment, i declaired everlasting war...against him who had formed me'. Resemblence to Paradice Lost's Lucifer
- Tears come about when the creature remembers his protectors are gone, but this turns to rage when he remembers their reason for leaving is abandonment
- metaphor 'the cottage was quickly enveloped by the flames, which clung to it and licked it with their forked and destroying tounges' shows beauty in the creature's ieyes, due to madness/obsession with revenge
- Creature, despite promising to hate humans, rushes without a second thought, to the aid of a little girl who fell into a fast river. his 'reward' is her father grabing the child away and shooting the creature in the shoulder. this makes the creature more bitter
- Monster becomes desprate for a companion, and takes to kidnaping a child. however, he kills the boy in blind rage when he finds out that he is a Frankenstein, and feels triumphant at his destruction of innocent life
- Can appreciate beauty in the female form, shown by his fixation with the woman on the lockett
- says to a sleeping Justine 'Thy lover is near...who would give his life but to obtain one look of affection from thine eyes'. Further desporation to feel accepted, and furthermore, loved
- Instead decides to plant the lockett on her and therefore frame her for the murder. he even blames her; 'the crime had it's source in her; be hers the punnishment', perhaps blaming her simply because she is a member of the human race
