Frankenstein 3

"If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of you remaining friends." pg. 68

Throughout this story, the narrator and point of view change several times. The quote above represents the newest point of view; the creature's. I think that by having the story told from multiple points of view, the readers can more easily sympathize with the characters of Victor and the creature. Hearing a first hand account of personal emotions helps evoke more sympathy. When I first heard the thoughts of the creature, I immediately felt his pain. I find it ironic that when the creature as well as Victor describes his life journey, the mood of each character paralleled the setting and environment. It seems that when it is beautiful and sunny, Victor and the creature are joyful and happy. Then, when it is rainy and gloomy, Victor and the creature are depressed and anguished.
