Wanna trade? You've come to the right place!
Mostly looking for pets on my wishlist but anything you fancy from my pets make an offer and we'll see what I can do!
I would sell my soul for the Arabian horse store pets and the cheetah store pets (especially the white one)
Psst... I also *LOVE* realistic looking horses, so throw a few into the trade and I'll probably accept (if it's fair obviously)
Enjoy! 💞

“I ought to be thy Adam, but rather I am thy fallen angel”- The monster is supposed to be Victor’s pride, because he created him, in the same way that Adam was God’s creation. However, he is more like a fallen angel, an angel that has fallen from heaven because they are not perfect enough for it. This shows that the monster is not perfect enough for the Earth.
“My form is a filthy type of yours”. Physically shows that he is not pure as he was stitched together from lots of other human’s bodies. Emotionally shows that he is not perfect enough for humans and he has some sort of evil in him. It is like he is a human but not quite, as he does not have the same humane feelings that most other humans bear. Based on his appearance, it is believed that he is “filthy” as he looks similar to a human but does not have the same values inside.
“I am chained in an eternal Hell”- Shows that Victor is now extremely unhappy and distraught after making the monster. Paralleled with “No human being could have possessed a happier childhood than myself”. This means that making the monster could be an effect of hubris, as before he made the monster, in his childhood, he was extremely happy, but now he is “chained” which means that he cannot move anywhere, and he’s stuck.
“bearing a celestial stamp in all of her features”- Shows that in this story Elizabeth is the perfect character, the one who is almost god-like. “Celestial stamp” shows that she has been approved by the gods, which makes her seem even more wonderful. This is also surprising of a female to be held in such high esteem in this time of the story, because normally women were seen as being lesser than men and were not written about in so much honour. It shows how much Victor respects Elizabeth and sees her as his equal. This is a parallel to the monster however, who is a “miserable deformity”.
“the fangs of remorse tore my bosom and would not forgo their hold”- Shows that after Justine’s death, Victor is feeling extremely guilty as he was the one that created the monster who killed Justine. This is only the start of his nemesis. This makes Victor seems selfish as he only cares about how it is affecting him and not how his mistake has affected Justine’s life and reputation.
“Saintly sufferer”- Shows that Justine is a kind character who did not deserve to die and did not deserve death as a punishment. This would make Victor feel even more guilty because Justine was one of the most innocent characters. Therefore, this is already representing the fact that bad things are happening to Victor through the juxtaposition as someone who is so saintly and perfect should not have to suffer, however Justine is being forced to suffer due to Victor’s mistake.
“Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred."- In this quote, the creature compares himself to Adam and Frankenstein to God. According to the creature, Adam is “beautiful” and “alluring" in the image of the almighty, but Frankenstein’s creation is “filthy” and “horrid.” This contrast demonstrates the stark difference between the abilities of God and the abilities of Frankenstein. Frankenstein's work has been a crude attempt to wield the power of creation, and according to the creature, his hubris is rewarded with wretchedness, ugliness, and loneliness. Furthermore, Frankenstein will not take responsibility for his creation by taking the creature under his wing; thus, the creature considers himself even more "solitary and abhorred" than Satan. By pointing out Frankenstein's folly, the creature again points out the dangers of attempting to go beyond one's own humanity by seeking God-like glory. The monster wishes he could have companions, and even is jealous of Satan, showing that he does not know right from wrong still.
“You are my creator, but I am your master; obey!”- The monster is taking control of Victor and becoming more powerful than him. Shows the result of Victor’s hubris (his nemesis) because now by playing God Victor has created something that is stronger than him physically and can beat him and control him. Shelley is trying to warn us against committing hubris as it causes a lot of damage. Also the juxtaposition between “master” and “creator” shows the turmoil between science and God, as at this moment Shelley is favouring God and believes that God is more powerful and more righteous than science as he decides when someone is born and releases pure humans into the world, not corrupted creatures like the monster.
“I was their plaything and their idol”- Shows that all of Victor’s parents’ attention was focussed solely on him. It makes him seem spoilt and brought up with everything he ever wanted; this makes the reader wonder why Victor turned out almost as the antagonist. This contrasts with the fact that Victor ignored and rejected the monster. It shows that Victor did not learn anything from his own upbringing and does not have what it takes to be a true “parent”. The noun “idol” shows that already Victor is rather full of himself as he is already showing signs of hubris as he truly believed that he was the most important thing in his parents’ lives.
this is the last thing i copied, i guess that shows that i'm smart
