On Chapter 10 of the novel "Frankenstein" the creature is
speaking directly to Victor, reminding him about the misery and pain that Victor caused
upon him with his ambition of creating a life. As he created the monster, the monster is
dully Frankenstein's "Adam": His son, his own creature.
We
find in the story that the creature, just like a child, had first begun life with the
innocence that only ignorance of evil can bring. He only began to understand the evils
of the world each time he felt like belonging and the world shun him mercilessly. He is
alone, isolated, and depressed. He is particularly bitter and
angry.
This quote is the summary of it all: He once was
benevolent, because the creature never once intended any harm nor hurt to anyone, not
even Victor. Yet, each time he tried to be a part of something, reality hit him with the
bricks of cruelty. Hence, he became an angry, spiteful, and miserable living
being.
