Answer 1

B. "I was benevolent and good; misery made
me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again
be virtuous.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" tells the story of
a monster whose creator rejected him. The
young scientist who created him, Victor
Frankenstein, brought upon himself a series of
misfortunes with this rejection of his own
created being.
The theme of good and evil in an individual can
be seen in the monster when he said "I was
benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.
Make me happy, and I shall again be
virtuous." (Chapter 10). In this chapter, the
monster had confronted his creator Victor, as he
had been following him. Stating his case, he
admits that his personality is a result of the
treatment he gets from everyone. He can
change and be virtuous if he is made happy.
This the me revolves round the dual personality
of a person, capable of being good or bad
depending on the situation and conditions.
