I am looking forward to sharing Shelly's novel, Frankenstein, with you through this blog. While blogging is fun and creative, please show respect for you classmates' opinions. Bad behavior will result in a written assignment equal to numerous blogging sessions, so do not create any monsters of your own!
Requirements:
Once you have a login, you will be expected to post at least twice for every session in the computer lab. Your post may be a quest ion or response to a classmate's question or reponse.
Stay current on the reading, or you will not be able to participate fully.
I will be reading your posts, but I may or may not choose to participate.

I think that the reality of what he has done finally hit him. Up until then, he had only focused on finishing his project, but once the monster was complete, he no longer had control of what could happen. He realizes that the monster finally has a life of its own and can make its own decisions and that the monster's actions are his responsibility.
He got skuurd...
He blames the death of William on the Monster... and in that light he realizes that he let loose upon the world a murderous creature...
He doesn't want to take responsibility for the death of his beloved William... so he got skuurd...
He didn't even know what he created. I don't see how it is possible to run from something you created. He should know what the character of the monster was going to be if he created it. He would also know if it was violent or not.....so really the fact that he ran is unrealistic and far fetched. He wanted to create a life, not a monster, and he shouldn't be afraid of it.
well obviously he got scared...didn't want the responsibility and ran away from it as fast as he could...kinda sounds like a dead beat dad..
Just because he put together the monster's body doesn't mean that he will know what it's character will be like. Just the realization of giving life to the monster, the consequences of his actions, and fear for his life made him go insane.
