Read the following excerpt from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in which the
monster tells his story:
"You are in the wrong," replied the fiend; "and, instead of
threatening, I consent to reason with you. I am malicious
because I am miserable; am I not shunned and hated by all
mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and
triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man
more than man pities me?..."

appearances can be deceiving?
