Frankenstein Journal #3
Consider the following quote
and question and then write a half-page journal response.
Frankenstein: "The hour of my weakness is past, and the period
of your power is arrived. Your threats cannot move me to do an act of
wickedness; but they confirm me in a resolution of not creating you a companion
in vice. Shall I, in cool blood, set loose upon the earth a dæmon, whose
delight is in death and wretchedness. Begone! I am firm, and your words will
only exasperate my rage."
Frankenstein's “hour of
weakness” was also considered to be a moment of compassion. Was
Frankenstein's agreeing to create the creature a mate a sign of weakness,
compassion, both or none of the above?
