Frankenstein - chapter five - Part 1 I am reading Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley and I have decided to write down here my thoughts about this great novel. This chapter shows me that HM had a significant resentment about people in general. It is possible to understand such feeling, since HM felt himself a product of an overwhelming rejection from people. HM tried many times to be in touch to other people, but all of them ran away from him. Everyone was afraid of him and reject him at first sight. He lived an unfathomable loneliness as he were a convict in a far island. It should be noted that loneliness was not his choice. He desired for a companion from another person who could like him or even love him. The rejection and the loneliness fill out his heart of hatred and your hands of revenge. So he started to do terrible things, apparently with the goal to hurt his creator (VF), such as killing the VF´s brother. He wanted to draw attention, be present in some way. By the way, after killing the little boy who was VF´s brother, HM found a necklace and, in it, a pendant with a picture of a beautiful and gentle-looking woman. Instead of this object evoked him a great feeling, this image caused him a strong feeling of rejection. He started to think that this woman, as soon as saw him, would become afraid and would run away, desperate, like everyone did. On the other hand, curiously, a particular feeling and desire started to come in him. It was a hope that stimulate him search his creator and request to him something special. Let´s see: I want you to make me a companion who will live with me. She must be as horrible and deformed as I am. You will do this for me. You have no choice. (p. 70) VF felt sorrow for the human monster and decided to come true the wish. He had a feeling of compassion of HM. VF´s decision was based on heart, not in rationality. There is also a feeling of threat from the HM, since he promised to VF destroy him and everyone around him, if Victor didn´t perform his desire. Over the days, VF became ambivalent and he didn´t know what should do, if he achieved his project of build a new creature or not. He was too afraid to start his work, but thought the monster could hurt him and even another people if he didn´t make the monster a female.
