How do Frankensteins feelings towards the monster change? For each section, decide on 2 words to describe how Frankenstein feels
1. Oh my friend you dont know how important it is (He runs to the Monsters side and tears off the wires and then helps it to sit up. He moves back to get a better look at his creation. Then the monster raises a hand and Frankenstein reaches up to touch it.) 2. My creature! And living! Let me see you let me look at you ah (He runs his hands over the Monsters limbs checking their soundness, helping him balance upright.) 3. But youre not what I thought youd beI thought I was making an angel! I thought I was making something better than human! Something so precious and beautiful that everyone would love it and look at you. Look at what Ive done. 4. (The Monster takes a lurching step towards him. Frankenstein backs away nervously.) No! I didnt mean this! I didnt want this at all (He turns away, and with a cry of fear and horror, runs out of the room).

The play we are reading is based on a novel from a book by Mary Shelley written in 1818. This is how she originally described the monster: His!limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful.! Beautiful! - Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles!and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.
