“…I was benevolent and good…misery made me a fiend…” (Shelley 103)
What if you had nothing; no one to talk to, no one to love you, no one to befriend you, absolutely nothing? Shelley is comparing the actions of content people versus those who are miserable and stating that chances are that those who are miserable are going to have more aggressive tendencies than those who are content. Frankenstein’s monster had virtually no one he could connect with; everyone who saw him was immediately either paralyzed with fear or enraged to the point of violence causing him to react in the only way he knew, he fought fire with fire.
