"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? .... if the multitude of mankind knew of my existence, they would do as you do, and arm themselves for my destruction. shall i not then hate them who abhor me? i will keep no terms with my enemies. i am miserable, and they shall share my wretchedness. ... you accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. oh, praise the eternal justice of man!"
there are so many other quotes, nearly a page long, that i could reference in this review. i really loved this book. it questions compassion and morals to a whole other level. i enjoyed deciphering the descriptive language by putting myself in the character's position and analyzing the vocabulary. it made the book a lot more personal. when the perspective flipped to the "monster" i freaked out. what an amazing idea!!
