1"Be calm! I entreat you to hear me before you give vent to your hatred on my devoted head. Have I not suffered enough,
2that you seek to increase my misery? Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will
3defend it. Remember, thou hast made me more powerful than thyself; my height is superior to thine, my joints more
4supple. But I will not be tempted to set myself in opposition to thee. I am thy creature, and I will be even mild and
5docile to my natural lord and king if thou wilt also perform thy part, the which thou owest me. Oh, Frankenstein, be not
6equitable to every other and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most
7due. Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from
8joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good;
9misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous." "Begone! I will not hear you. There can be no
10community between you and me; we are enemies. Begone, or let us try our strength in a fight, in which one must fall."
11"How can I move thee? Will no entreaties cause thee to turn a favourable eye upon thy creature, who implores thy
12goodness and compassion? Believe me, Frankenstein, I was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity; but am I not
13alone, miserably alone? You, my creator, abhor me; what hope can I gather from your fellow creatures, who owe me
14nothing? They spurn and hate me. The desert mountains and dreary glaciers are my refuge. I have wandered here many days;
15the caves of ice, which I only do not fear, are a dwelling to me, and the only one which man does not grudge. These
16bleak skies I hail, for they are kinder to me than your fellow beings. If the multitude of mankind knew of my existence,
17they would do as you do, and arm themselves for my destruction. Shall I not then hate them who abhor me? I will keep no
18terms with my enemies. I am miserable, and they shall share my wretchedness. Yet it is in your power to recompense me,
19and deliver them from an evil which it only remains for you to make so great, that not only you and your family, but
20thousands of others, shall be swallowed up in the whirlwinds of its rage. Let your compassion be moved, and do not
21disdain me. Listen to my tale; when you have heard that, abandon or commiserate me, as you shall judge that I deserve.
22But hear me. The guilty are allowed, by human laws, bloody as they are, to speak in their own defence before they are
23condemned. Listen to me, Frankenstein. You accuse me of murder, and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy
24your own creature. Oh, praise the eternal justice of man! Yet I ask you not to spare me; listen to me, and then, if you
25can, and if you will, destroy the work of your hands." "Why do you call to my remembrance," I rejoined, "circumstances
26of which I shudder to reflect, that I have been the miserable origin and author? Cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in
27which you first saw light! Cursed (although I curse myself) be the hands that formed you! You have made me wretched
28beyond expression. You have left me no power to consider whether I am just to you or not. Begone! Relieve me from the
29sight of your detested form." "Thus I relieve thee, my creator," he said, and placed his hated hands before my eyes,
30which I flung from me with violence; "thus I take from thee a sight which you abhor. Still thou canst listen to me and
31grant me thy compassion. By the virtues that I once possessed, I demand this from you. Hear my tale; it is long and
32strange, and the temperature of this place is not fitting to your fine sensations; come to the hut upon the mountain.
33The sun is yet high in the heavens; before it descends to hide itself behind your snowy precipices and illuminate
34another world, you will have heard my story and can decide. On you it rests, whether I quit for ever the neighbourhood
35of man and lead a harmless life, or become the scourge of your fellow creatures and the author of your own speedy ruin."
36As he said this he led the way across the ice; I followed. My heart was full, and I did not answer him, but as I
37proceeded, I weighed the various arguments that he had used and determined at least to listen to his tale. I was partly
38urged by curiosity, and compassion confirmed my resolution. I had hitherto supposed him to be the murderer of my
39brother, and I eagerly sought a confirmation or denial of this opinion. For the first time, also, I felt what the duties
40of a creator towards his creature were, and that I ought to render him happy before I complained of his wickedness.
41These motives urged me to comply with his demand. We crossed the ice, therefore, and ascended the opposite rock. The air
42was cold, and the rain again began to descend; we entered the hut, the fiend with an air of exultation, I with a heavy
43heart and depressed spirits. But I consented to listen, and seating myself by the fire which my odious companion had
44lighted, he thus began his tale. Chapter 11 "It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my
45being; all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct. A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and
46I saw, felt, heard, and smelt at the same time; and it was, indeed, a long time before I learned to distinguish between
47the operations of my various senses. By degrees, I remember, a stronger light pressed upon my nerves, so that I was
48obliged to shut my eyes. Darkness then came over me and troubled me, but hardly had I felt this when, by opening my
49eyes, as I now suppose, the light poured in upon me again. I walked and, I believe, descended, but I presently found a
50great alteration in my sensations. Before, dark and opaque bodies had surrounded me, impervious to my touch or sight;
51but I now found that I could wander on at liberty, with no obstacles which I could not either surmount or avoid. The
52light became more and more oppressive to me, and the heat wearying me as I walked, I sought a place where I could
53receive shade. This was the forest near Ingolstadt; and here I lay by the side of a brook resting from my fatigue, until
54I felt tormented by hunger and thirst. This roused me from my nearly dormant state, and I ate some berries which I found
55hanging on the trees or lying on the ground. I slaked my thirst at the brook, and then lying down, was overcome by
56sleep. "It was dark when I awoke; I felt cold also, and half frightened, as it were, instinctively, finding myself so
57desolate. Before I had quitted your apartment, on a sensation of cold, I had covered myself with some clothes, but these
58were insufficient to secure me from the dews of night. I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; I knew, and could
59distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept. "Soon a gentle light stole over the
60heavens and gave me a sensation of pleasure. I started up and beheld a radiant form rise from among the trees. [The
61moon] I gazed with a kind of wonder. It moved slowly, but it enlightened my path, and I again went out in search of
62berries. I was still cold when under one of the trees I found a huge cloak, with which I covered myself, and sat down
63upon the ground. No distinct ideas occupied my mind; all was confused. I felt light, and hunger, and thirst, and
64darkness; innumerable sounds rang in my ears, and on all sides various scents saluted me; the only object that I could
65distinguish was the bright moon, and I fixed my eyes on that with pleasure.
