animal points

the monster is described by Frankentein as:

  • more hideous than belongs to humanity
  • the wretch
  • the filthy daemon
  • the devil
  • the animal
  • a creature
  • the monster
  • the fiend

yet Justine sees herself with similar images

  • 'i almost began to think that i was the monster that he said i was'
  • a creature capable of a crime which none but the devil himself could have perpetrated

Frankentein also sees himself reanacting animalistic actions

  • i gnashed my teeth and ground them together, uttering a groan

the monster sees himself with such aspects aswell

  • thy creature (adressing Frankentein)
  • my wretchedness
  • deliver them from an evil (he sees himself as an evil)
  • i am rather the fallen angel
  • i crept from my kennel
  • my nocturnal rambles

all these characters see others with animalistic aspects.

the monster sees Agatha as a 'fair creature', 'young creature'

he sees both Agatha and Felix as 'two excellent creatures', 'lovely creatures'
