Question

Which quote from Frankenstein brings out the theme of revenge in the novel?

A. "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. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create."

B. "I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery. Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful."

C. "How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavored to form?"

D. "Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow."

E. "I intended to reason. This passion is detrimental to me, for you do not reflect that you are the cause of its excess."

Answer 1

B. "I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery. Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful."

In the above quotation, we can see that Frankenstein’s monster is filled with retribution by how he states that that if he dies, what will first happen is that Frankenstein the man will be filled with hurt/misery so much so that he will want to be dead as is indicated with the words “shall curse the sun” because it is the sun that gives life.   Basically, Frankenstein's monster is telling Frankenstein that if he goes, he's taking Frankenstein with him.  

Answer 2

Answer:

B.

"I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery. Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful."
