"When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness." pg 165
How can you be mad at that? If antihero goes as far as being a murderer yet still being good, then the Creature is definitely an antihero. It doesn't even know how it became so corrupt. This is my official diagnosis of depression for the poor Creature. Walton wants an explanation for everything Creature has done, but Creature honestly doesn't have one. The reader's heart brekas when the creature continues to explain that "the fallen angel becomesa malignant devil". It's impressive how it can be obviously evil yet I'm still sympathizing with it. Unfortunately, this is not what I wanted. I was expecting more of a hulk smash kind of finale.
