Chapters 7-13 - Quotations

Here are key quotations from Chapters 7-13:

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

  • Victor "rushed out of the court in agony" before the verdict, saying Justine's "tortures did not equal mine".
    • This shows how Victor is still viewing himself as the victim, unable to face full responsibility for his actions.
    • His dismissive attitude of Justine’s feelings displays the treatment of women in the patriarchal society of the 18th/19th centuries.
Chapter 10

Chapter 10

  • Whilst gazing at Montanvert and Mont Blanc, Victor feels "joy" in nature.
Chapter 11

Chapter 11

  • "You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. Oh, praise the eternal justice of man!"
    • Here the Monster confronts Victor with the hypocrisy of his words and actions, making the reader once again question who is the real monster in this novel.
Chapter 13

Chapter 13

  • "Was I then a monster?"
    • From Felix reading Ruins of Empire, the Monster starts to question his identity and creation. This existential questioning torments him and pushes the Monster to long for companionship.
  • "Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind, when it has once seized on it, like a lichen on the rock. I wished sometimes to shake off all thought and feeling".
    • This epistemological rumination displays the growing consciousness of the Monster.
