Question

Shall I respect man, when he condemns me? Let him live with me in the interchange of kindness, and, instead of injury, I would bestow every benefit upon him with tears of gratitude at his acceptance. But that cannot be; the human senses are insurmountable barriers to our union. Yet mine shall not be the submission of abject slavery. I will revenge my injuries: if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear.

What do the following words from the excerpt indicate about the creature's interaction with humans?


But that cannot be; the human senses are insurmountable barriers to our union.


A. Humans cannot hear what he says.
B. He lacks the power to communicate.
C. He finds humans incapable of kindness.
D. His appearance repels humans.

Answer 1

D. His appearance repels humans.

In the exceprt when the monster says "the human senses are insurmountable barriers to our union".

How the monster looks is the main barrier between him and humans, he is not loved nor even given the chance to get to know him because of his terrorific disgusting look, after his attempts to be kind and good he decides that by his nature he shall do what others expect of his looks.
