The complexity of Frankenstein's monster is hands down one of the best aspects of this book. I like his development and how he's becoming more human throughout the book. I believe the author did manage to make the reader feel for him. After all, he was just misunderstood and needed love.
Page 52, calm mind.
Spoiler
Dokonalý člověk má vždy zachovat klidnou a pokojnou mysl a nikdy nemá připustit, aby vášeň nebo pomíjivá touha porušily jeho pohodu. Ani vědecké bádání nemá být podle mého názoru výjimkou z tohoto pravidla. Jestliže studium, kterému se člověk věnuje, vede k oslabení přátelských vztahů a prostých radostí, v nichž nemá být ani stopa bolesti, pak je toto studium určitě nesprávné a pro lidskou mysl nevhodné.I hoped for a happier ending, but it wasn't bad.
I'm glad I read this book.

“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.”
“My spirits were elevated by the enchanting appearance of nature; the past was blotted from my memory, the present was tranquil, and the future gilded by bright rays of hope and anticipations of joy.”
“Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather a fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall be virtuous.”
“The cup of life was poisoned forever, and although the sun shone upon me, as upon the happy and gay of heart, I saw around me nothing but a dense and frightful darkness, penetrated by no light but the glimmer of two eyes that glared upon me.”
