Answer:

D. Adam came into the world happy and protected, whereas the monster entered the world confused and alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll know how the monster got 'educated'. Such a child, he learns to use the senses. Suffer with loneliness and helplessness - like any child! It is as if he were the first man - Adam - thrown into the world, a world to which he must adapt and at the same time observe, discover, master, but unlike Adam, the monster must do it alone. From the very beginning, he is good, fascinated with nature, stars, bird chirps, and self-awareness - deformity - arises slowly. He is a prime example of Locke's "talebook" theory - for he must learn everything - and also a proof of our narcissism - when he perceives himself ugly, drama begins.

The correct answer is D: Adam came into the world happy and protected, whereas the monster entered the world confused and alone.

The creature sees himself as another Adam because he was created apparently united by no link to any other being in existence.
