Question

Read this excerpt from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein:

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.

Answer 1

Answer: D. His appearance repels humans

Explanation: Plato answer

Answer 2

Answer: That he is disappointed in humans behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

This excerpt and thoughts of Frankenstein are showing the readers that he does not know what to do if someone is having bad behavior towards him. He is aware that there are people who are not kind to others even if they don't have reasons to act like that.

He is telling the readers that he will be good for everyone who is good to him and if he cannot inspire love then he will cause fear because he does not want anyone to condemns him.

He does not understand why someone would be unkind.
