"A moment ago you were moved by my representations, and why do you again harden yourself to my complaints." (pg.106)

Frankenstein is punishing the monster because of his past when he had done nothing wrong. The monsters intentions are good here.

"I am malicious because I am miserable." (pg.104)

This quote supports the monster being miserable in his life.

Yes, the monster has earned sympathy, because he tries to do good but is rewarded with hatred. Multiple times in the book he tries to help someone. However, every time he is hunted or shunned by the people. A specific example of this is when he tried to help a girl who was "drowning". When doing this, a man thought he was going to harm the girl so he shot the monster. Every time something bad happens so he gets sympathy because it is the people in the story who are the real monsters. "She fell into the rapid stream...[he] saved her...every means in my power to restore animation...on seeing me, he [the man] darted towards me...he aimed a gun... and fired." "This was then the reward of my benevolence!" (pg.101). The monster was punished were he did not deserve it.

The monster has earned some sympathy because he did not wish to come into this world and is miserable while living in it. "Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not; despair had not yet taken possession of me" (pg.97). He says how miserable he is living his life that should not even be his. He thinks his life should have been taken from him before he had done anything bad.

Clerval acts as an adult figure in the life of Frankenstein. After running from his apartment, Frankenstein wanders the streets of Ingolstadt until Clerval finds him. He is in poor condition, and Clerval takes it upon himself to help the man. Clerval helps Frankenstein get better the rest of the winter and spring. Clerval even convinces Frankenstein to write home to his family in Geneva. In the end, without Clerval's parent like help, Frankenstein may have never been able to recover from his making of the monster. Frankenstein first says "I traversed the streets without any clear conception of where i was or what i was doing" (pg.36), but then he "forgot [his] horror and misfortune" and felt "calm and serene joy" (pg.37) after Clerval came.

Both Victor and Henry share a sense of discovery. Henry is attempting to discover a passage through the Arctic Ocean to the North Pacific Ocean through the seas of the North Pole. He even spent six years discovering and preparing all the information to start an expedition. However, in chapter 5 he finds his discoveries lead him to uncover the secrets and excitement behind Frankenstein's monster. "Henry should see him" and the fact that he "dreaded to behold this monster" were instances of his discoveries (pg.38). Victor uses science to discover the secrets in creating life after death. He discovers the consequences of playing with fate and eventually realizes he was in the wrong. "I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body," but now only "breathless horror and disgust filled [his] heart" (pg.35)

New England colonies were better off in the long run, because they had limited amount of diseases. One of the leading factors for this was the location of the colonies. Being in a colder climate, some diseases couldn’t survive. Unfortunately where it was warmer, the diseases could live, which led to higher death rates for other colonies. Therefore, the New England colonies were much more successful.

Despite the circumstances at the time, religion wasn’t necessarily the cause for the New England settlers to “look positively to their future”. If anything it told of how bad the New England colonies were doing because of how they had to turn to religion so much. As for the well-educated leader, there is no proof of one in your answer. Not to mention most leaders at the time weren’t educated in the art of colonization. One is to question if the facts given were even real.

Your argument is illogical, due to the fact it is unsupported by any lasting or fully functional facts. Most if not all the colonies suffered from disease and other terminal plagues. Not to mention there were also large populations in other colonies other than the New England colonies. There are simply not enough actualities to support your standing verdict.
