Ch. 19-20
Seems like traveling would be a good distraction from what I have promised the creature. I can't help but worry about my family. I'm afraid the creature will think I have deceived him and take vengeance on all the people I love.
Can I really create another fiend that will have the ability to destroy and kill? I have no way of knowing if she will be able to control her desires of hurting innocent human beings. I know the creation of the monster will determine the fate of the family's happiness but it seems I have to satisfy the first creature. I don't want to seem weak and I don't want to bring destruction to the world. What do I do?
I can hopefully get a clear answer if I try to see what will happen if I don't make the female creature. You could say I'm testing the daemon but I really need to know if I'm doing the right thing.

Confused
Ch. 17
I feel some compassion for the creature because he is MY creature. I still don't know if what am doing is right. I'm creating him a companion but the outcome will also benefit me. He will leave far away from here, from the people I love forever. They might just terrorize the world out of spite. His claims sound too good to be true.
He really seems to want somebody that will accept him and love him as mush as he would leave them. I know other humans won't be able to accept him because of his appearance. At least a creature with the same features won't be able to discriminate against him. He also seems to want to teach the female creature the right way to live. He will be there to protect her and teach her everything he learned on his own. He will be able to do what I was not able to do.

So it was him...
Ch. 16
I am now certain the William's killer is the creature. Although I was once enraged by at the creature for the murder I have some sympathy for the creature. He roamed the world with no knowledge about right from wrong. He had to learn from secret observations about deceit and love. When he tried to seek that love he was pushed away and hurt. From my abandonment his anger and feeling of vengeance grew. He was even shot at for saving a helpless girl. For showing kindness and care he has been almost killed (if that's possible).
The only person I can blame for the feelings of vengeance and hate towards the human race he has is me. I left him unprotected. What if God had left mankind alone and unprotected? We probably would have grown to be an even worse species. It does anger me to know that the creature murdered William but it angers me even more that all the pain could have been avoided if I had had some sense.

The Evil of Mankind
Ch. 14-15
The creature has now learned about the deceit humankind can accomplish. The De Lacey's were tricked by a man only wanting to be free. He used his daughter's love for a man as a pawn to wriggle his way out of punishment. The creature has learned about the unlawful way innocent people are treated by government. The same treatment Elizabeth hates because the lives of two very close people she loved were taken. At least he also knows that some loyalty can always be found. Safie has been able to show the creature love is often the strongest bond between people.
I am in complete shock to learn that this creature has learned the importance of books. He has been able to experience great stories through Plutarch's Lives, Sorrows of Werter, and Paradise Lost.

Learning ABC's
Ch. 8
I never once thought the creature would learn to speak. It never occurred to me it could grasp knowledge like any other human being alive. It is also astonishing that those poor people never even suspected such a creature to be living with them and watching their every move. If I had giving this amazing creature the smallest amount of hope great things could have come from his creation.
His knowledge is so great. It would have taken a normal human being most of their life to learn what this pieced-together creation took only a couple of years. Still he would be disowned in this world. In a world where without money, property, or riches a man is considered worthless. This poor creature would never live peacefully. Even I, his creator, cannot accept him.

Frankenstein
Ch. 11-12
I did not realize the creature would be like a small child. He had no way of knowing what his senses were and how the world worked. He had to learn what one learns through attention and affection from a caregiver on his own without any kind of direction. He has also suffered in the hands of humans that know nothing of the creature. His appearance startled them all and they resulted in violence. I was completely wrong about his behavior. He seems to be the most innocent creature I know. He even learned to help and care for others without even being taught.He learned about the love and care people have for each other. Through this time the creature forgot about is painful and lonely past and looked to the future for happiness. I no longer know who is William's killer and the one who wanders freely. I feel even more guilty for letting him roam the world alone.

Ch. 9-10
I have the worst feeling a person could ever have in their life. I wander around the nature sites of my hometown trying to find some kind of peace of mind. I'm trying to reminisce my boyhood and have some kind of joy from the past. My family has enough trouble and I'm just adding stress to their minds. Because of me Elizabeth has lost hope in all mankind. She feels that she can't trust the rest of the world but the one she can't trust is me.
I thought all the anger I had was towards the creature I made. I have left him in a world that will alienate him or even kill him. If not even his creator will accept him, who will? I now have a completely different weight on my shoulders. He says I choose whether he lives peacefully or brings me to my ruins. It brings me to question whether he really killed William or not. I should really listen to his story to discover his whereabouts and if they relate to William's death at all.
