Apostrophe!!!

"CURSED CURSED creator! Why did I live?" (page 97) This is the creation's response to being rejected by the De Lacey family. This address of the creator that isn't present is an example of an apostrophe. He uses this to show the anger of the monster. When the monster realizes that the ability to speak will not cause humanity to appreciate him, he finally blames all of his loneliness on his creator that deserted him. He blames him for all of the pain and destruction that he has caused. This apostrophe is what starts the rage that causes the deaths of many. This apostrophe also places some of the reader's blame on Victor, causing the reader to show sympathy for the creation. When this apostrophe occurs, Victor begins to become the monster. The reader is now rooting for the creation.
