Bookaholic: FRANKENSTEIN

Here's an excerpt from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus, which makes reference to the creator of this so-called beast. The excerpt I'm about to post talks about how Frankenstein Jr feels when he realizes he's different from any other person he's encountered. So he asks his creator to make another being just like him in order to feel comfortable and accompanied.

"For some days I haunted the spot where these scenes had taken place, sometimes wishing to see you, sometimes resolved to quit the world and its miseries forever. At length I wandered towards these mountains, and have ranged through their immense recesses, consumed by a burning passion which you alone can gratify. We may not part until you have promised to comply with my requisition. I am alone and miserable; man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create".
