"Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant, but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property" page 85

Nature Verus nurture is a hot topic. It psychology, we discuss it frequently. It comes down to how much of a persons behavior you can attribute to inner traits and how much you can contribute to the situation. The creature argues in favor himself that he is by nature good, and by nurture evil. I understand his point. But I have to attribute it to his personality and inner dispositions. There are certainly others who experience crippling ostracism that don't buckle from torment and go on a killing rampage. I think the situtuation brought out the very worst in the creature. So, I do believe in the power in the situation, but the situation never justifies horrible wrong doing.
