—Then, the Monster burn the cottage, and starts a travel to Geneva, the native town of Frankenstein
Summary
—The Creature feels many solitude, anger, and many other bad feelings, but principally a feeling of revenge against Frankenstein and all the mankind

— Then, after two months he reaches the environs of Geneva, and there it murder a boy, because he Frankenstein´s son
—Also, the Creature ask Frankenstein to create another like him, to have company
Diction
—The writer, Mary Shelley, has a
very special way to write
—
It´s true that there were another times, so there are many difficult and old words
—
Examples of the diction in the story
—“…the fever of
my blood did not allow me to be visited by peaceful dreams”. This sentence probably mean that the Creature was so anger , lonely and in search of revenge, that he was sleeping bad, thinking in all of these problems (the mankind, his solitude, etc.)”
—
—“…no
incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food”.
In this example probably the Creature wants to say that no inicident occurred in that while that increased its rage and fury. Also it can be a personification
—“…I
gave vent to my anguish in
fearful howlings”. This probably mean that the Monster released all the bad feelings (anguish) breething, in a fearful form.
—
— “The
horrible scene of the preceding day was for ever acting before my eyes”. This mean that the Creature could not take off his head the horrible scene of the preceding day. In other words, he was thinking in this scene.
—
—“The feelings of
kindness and gentless which I had entertained but a few moments before gave
place to hellish rage and gnashing of teeth”. With “gnashing of teeth” the Creature wants to say anger, because when someon is angry, you gnash your tooth.
Imagery
—Repetition: “Cursed, cursed creator!” This repetition increases the feelings that the Creature is trying to express to Frankenstein.
—
—Simile: “…I,
like the arch-fiend, bore a hell within
me”. With this simile, the Creature is comparing its person with the arch-fiend or villein of the stories, like it is the bad person, the one who tries to make the life difficult to the others.
—
— Personification: “…no
incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food”. This is a personification, because rage and misery cannot extract its food. The Creature is giving the feelings animated activities.
—Personification: “I felt emotions of
gentless and pleasure, that had long apeared dead”. Here the Monster is giving animate activities to the feelings, because the feelings don´t die.
—
—Finally in the Imagery, this chapter has many Hiperboles, not in one specific sentence, but in the majority of these ones.
Important Information
—This chapter is very important during the course of the book, because here is when the mosnter starts asking about its origin, and it is suffering very much, because it is alone. This chapter make us wonder about who is the real monster, the Creature or its Creator, Victor Frankenstein.
