The portrait of the Creature
“His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected
his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His
yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles
and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous
black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness;
but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid
contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost
of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in
which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and
straight black lips.”

world?
- It encountered different sensations: “ And I saw, heard, and smelt at

being covered with clothes when cold)

deserves to be regarded as “a monster”? Why/Why
