Question

Read the following excerpt from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in which the

monster tells his story:
"You are in the wrong," replied the fiend; "and, instead of
threatening, I consent to reason with you. I am malicious
because I am miserable; am I not shunned and hated by all
mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and
triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man
more than man pities me?..."
Which phrase from the passage best supports the theme that monstrous
appearances can be deceiving?
O
A. am I not shunned
O
B. hated by all mankind
O
C. consent to reason
O
D. I am malicious

Answer 1

C. consent to reason

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage the 'monster' created by Frankenstein comes up to him to reason with him and understands that because he has the ability to reason he cannot be termed a monster. He is only termed a monster because of his hideous physical appearance which cannot betray his character.

This passage is able to convey that the creature has an ability to reason and that he can consent to reason with another over something he disagrees on them with.
