It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another. - Mary Wollstonecraft

I am by birth a Genevese, and my family is one of the most distinguished of that republic. My ancestors had been for many years counsellors and syndics, and my father had filled several public situations with honour and reputation. He was respected by all who knew him for his integrity and indefatigable attention to public business. He passed his younger days perpetually occupied by the affairs of his country; a variety of circumstances had prevented his marrying early, nor was it until the decline of life that he became a husband and the father of a family.

Do your duty towards me, and I will do mine towards you and the rest of mankind. If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends.

عرفت حينها أنني لن أستطيع أبدا أن أكون جزءا من أى عائلة، وأدركت انه لن يقبلني أي شخص في العالم بسبب شكلي القبيح. لا يهم أنني أستطيع القراءة أو الكتابة، ولا يهم أنني أستطيع التفكير أو التحدث عن الفلسفة أو موضوعت عظيمة أخرى؛ سيظل الناس يخشونني دائما. وفي تلك اللحظة امتلأ قلبي كرها لك يا فرانكشتاين لأنك جئت بي إلى عالم لن يقبلني أبدا
