Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
After being rejected by the family he creepily breaths on at night, the creature has given up. The common trait that surround all of his issues is humanity. Humans are the ones that always ruin his happiness, or they prevent any happiness from originating. It is for this reason that "from that moment I declared ever-lasting war against the species, and...against him who had formed me" (Shelley 97). The creature is no longer this lost puppy that everyone wants to help, he's like batman if every person in Gotham hated him and his parents shrieked at the very sight of him instead of dying in that alley.
The reader learns that the creature WAS the killer of William, and that he was intelligent enough to frame Justine for the murder. He then coerces Victor to make him a bride. The creature claims the source of his woes is loneliness, and being with one who is like him is all he needs. If he had a woman, he would never show his face to the world again. Victor only agrees so that the creature would never be able to hurt anyone again.
