Frankenstein The Monster
Birthplace: University of Ingolstadt
I was brought into this world as an experiment by a scientist who was appalled by me. As I opened my eyes to my god I had no understanding of the world. He fled as I took my first infant steps upon this earth. I gathered clothing and set off on my journey to discover the true world. Through the reactions of other humans I could tell I was a grotesque being. I fled off into Mont Blanc where I first observed human interaction. I began a general perception of the world and acquired sensations that I had not ever experienced before. While observing a family I had come across I began to teach myself English and deepened this sense through literature. Each new learning gave me infinite excitement yet threw me deeper and deeper into a sense of loneliness and despair. These books, "they produced in me an infinity of new images and feelings, that sometimes raised me to ecstasy, but more frequently sunk me into the lowest dejection." (page 108) As I grew well acquainted to the language I decided to act upon my first social experiment with a blind old man named De Lacey, but as his companions arrived home I was soon exiled from my only chance at companionship. I traveled until I met a boy, assuming that- being so young- he would be blind to the monster that I am. The boy turned out to be my creator's brother and in a fit of rage I found meaning as I strangled him to death. If my creator had power over me I developed a system to have power over him. I sooner meet my creator and tell him my story convincing him to create a companion in the same manner that I was created. He exiles himself to The Orkney Isles to create a female monster. He no sooner destroys all of his work and all of my hope, so I reciprocated by destroying his best friend- Henry Clerval. I vowed I would ruin his wedding and went along to kill his bride also. Finally I triggered a response and Victor my creator followed me all the way to the North Pole. He died of the extreme conditions and I was left without a purpose in the cold world.
