It's ALIVE! And IT TALKS!

"It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the orignial ear of my being; all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct." pg. 98

Creature reflects on the first hours and days of his life beginning in Chapter 11. The shift in narrators adds to the frame story style in such a way that we once again see the story in another light. As Frankenstein educates Walton on his inevitable destruction if he continues down the "discovery" path he purues, he incorporates Creature's words. The whole chapter is based on Creature's adjusting to the busling, bright, and loud world around him without a companion on whom he could rely. It is in this chapter that we as readers send sympathy to Creature.

I found it semi-ironic that Creature spoke so distinctly and refined after living months on his own and having been made from NOTHING! In that aspect, I'll admit I was disturbed. I expected him to be this wollering mass of giant stature stomping around make cavemen grunts... nope. Disappointed as I was to find this not the case, I am glad Creature's intellect adds to the plot and drama of the story.
