From "Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus" by Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft
The Creature
Victor's creation, a sentient being rejected by society.
Core Belief
"Initially, the Creature believes in the inherent goodness of humanity, but his experiences lead him to question this belief and ultimately to embrace revenge."
Worldview
The Creature initially sees the world as a place of wonder and beauty, but his rejection transforms his view into one of bitterness and despair, leading him to seek revenge on his creator and all of humanity.
Personality
Initially benevolent and eager to learn, the Creature becomes embittered and vengeful due to his rejection and isolation. He craves acceptance and understanding but is driven to violence by despair.
In Their Own Words
"'I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.'"
"'Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded.'"
