Frankenstein 1

"...a being which had the shape of a man, but apparently of gigantic stature, sat in the sledge, and guided the dogs." pg. 8

My initial thoughts of the creature were that it was huge, scary, and inarticulate. However, the quote above displays foreshadowing of the creatures true nature. The phrase "guided the dogs" implies that the creature has some sense of direction. In order to have a sense of direction, the creature must have some intelligence. I was not expecting this at all. I thought the creature would have no real purpose and went around killing people. Knowing that the creature knows how to think almost makes it more frightening because it could have the powers of manipulation and frame working as well as being huge in stature. Based on the fact that the creature has intelligence, I think that it could possibly have had the ability to frame Justine for the murder of William.
