"'This trait of kindness moved me'" page 78

The creatures contention that he was born with a benevolent disposition brings up the question of nature versus nurture. Victor confidently believes that Victor is innately evil, and the creature contends, and offers anecdotal evidence, that he was born a kind man..thing monster. Personally, I'm inclined to believe the monster. Provided that his story is true, it does seem that he was born with a friendly attitude. The situation, though, must've driven him to kill. I believe it was the ostracism that he experienced due to the horrified responses to his deformity.
