çOne morning I saw a figure coming to me faster than any man could go.
At first I could not speak becase I hated him so much. But at last I said
You're an evil creature. I shall kill you if I can
I am the unhappiest creature in the world, but I shall fight for my life.
We are enemies!
William and Justine died because you did not love me.Why did you create me if you were not ready to love me?'
Leave me now, or let us fight until one of us is dead.
You are a murderer. How can I be kind to you?
You say I am a murderer but you want to kill your own creature. Isn't that wrong, too?
Victor thought carefully about what he had said. It was true that he had given him life but he had not given him love. He decided to go with him and listen to his story
I ask you to do one thing for me - listen. Come with me to a warmer place, and listen to my story. Then you can decide.'
The monster took Victor to a mountain hut where he lit a fire. We sat down by the fire and he began to tell Victor his story.
