"'Thus I relieve thee, my creator,' he said, and placed his hated hands before my eyes, which I flung from me with violence; 'thus I take from thee a sight which you abhor.'" - p. 70
I know, Jacob, I was surprised, too. He actually has quite the vocabulary, considering he was just created a few months prior to this scene. I have to wonder what kind of people he's encountered up to this point to acquire such knowledge of language.
Also, I would like to express my sympathy for the monster at this point. He's so scary-looking; I had a Frankenstein bookmark that I made in Kindergarten once, and it made me afraid to go out at night, but Victor ought to know better than that. He created the... fellow. He's right in thinking he has certain duties to him. Babies generally look kinda crazy when they arrive, too, but their parents get over it. This "daemon" hasn't gotten the chance due him. It's not his fault his eyes are yellow. It's Frankenstein's.
P.S. One time, in first grade, I was in the lunch line, and I guess I said something, and the girl behind me went, "You can talk?!" I nodded at her.
