      I’m happy to look over any physio or adjacent solutions if you want another opinion in the advice. Someone may as well get some value from my education.

      I think the creature was angry and grief stricken to have been created only for his ‘father’ and the world to fear and despise him (and leave him in isolation).

      Frankenstein ran in terror and disgust at what he had created. Also because the creature wanted serious revenge after Frankenstein went back on the deal of making him a female companion and destroyed the creature’s bride to be rather than finish her.

      It’s been so long and I might not have been able to concentrate long enough to finish the book but I think Frankenstein was constantly on the move and hiding out on that boat (?) because his own rejected and betrayed creation was hunting him down to kill him.

      “I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”

      Not sure where I heard this but I think the creature was named Adam.
