Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
他沒有姓名,沒有朋友。從誕生的那刻開始,他就是一個人。大家唾棄他,大家遠離他,一直到 De Lacey 出現。他遇到第一位導師,De Lacey 的教導以及書籍讓 Creature 開始了認識這個世界是比看到的還要廣闊。
I discover how much I do not know. Ideas batter me like hailstones. Questions but no answers. Who an I? Where am I from? Do I have a family? - Creature
他開始像海綿一樣要吸盡身邊一切知識。就像他出生時努力了解身體各部位時、像他第一次感受到大自然的沐浴時,他在 De Lacey 的書籍裡,看見天外有天的場景,看見羅馬的興盛。而且這些已經不足以滿足他了。
What is it exactly that frightens you? - De Lacey
Everything! Everything! - Creature
我很喜歡 Creature 跟 De Lacey 爭論的那一段。De Lacey 讓 Creature 描述他看到的月亮。他說月亮像他一樣是 ‘solitary and sad’ 的,他意識到自己無法像一般人能過群體生活,有朋友,有伴侶,所以傷心難過。
You are a good man. Someone will love you, whoever you are. - De Lacey
