"[a] flash of lightning illuminated the object and discovered its shape plainly to me; its gigantic stature, and the deformity of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me that it was the wretch,"
That is no way to talk about your technical son Frankenstein! Seriously, what was he expecting? While creating it, he knew the creature was looking pretty disgusting, and coming to life wouldn't magically make it pretty. Also, he made the conscious decision to make Creature really tall. Most importantly, Creature was never even given a chance to be thought of as human! This is racism on whole new levels. It's like Frankenstein is trying to act innocent when he knew what he was creating all along. This guy isn't winning my favor and probably isn't convincing Robert of anything either. Maybe the Creature is intentionally made massive and instantly hated to create sympathy from the reader. All I know is that the more I read the more I hate Frankenstein.
