The Creature

"My creator was absent, but I felt as though he were present"

"I am content to suffer alone as I have suffered alone"

"Yet when I reflect that you have refused my just demand I rage like a chained bear"

"I am alone and miserable only I then felt sensations of ease and pleasure"

"You are my creator but I am your master obey"

"I shall glut the maw of death until it be satiated with blood"

"I shall ascend the funeral pyre which shall consume and light up my cruel grave"

"I am malicious because I am miserable."

"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."

"If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear."

"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."

"I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend."

"My reign is not yet over, and you shall live to see that I shall accomplish my vengeance."

"The companionship of man is necessary to my happiness."

"I am not evil; I am miserable."

"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe."

"You have denied me the small comforts of life, but shall I not have my revenge?"

"I shall be with you on your wedding night."

"What does it matter what form the tabernacle of my soul takes?"

"I am content to suffer alone, as long as another does not suffer by my hands."

"Man, I am not thine enemy; be thou mine."

"I learned that the pleasures of virtue are very different from those of vice."

"I am forever barred from the joys of love and friendship."

"I shall devote myself to the destruction of my creator."

"My creator abhors me; what hope can I gather from my fellows?"

"The greatest blessing I could have known would have been not to be born."

"I am malicious because I am miserable."

"You have denied me the right to love and to be loved."

"I am satisfied; misery has come, and I leave it to you."

"I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend."
