FRANKENSTEIN, 1823
A thread..
"..Accursed Creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?.."
Can we please stop & actually talk about this? Isn't this how we feel when we our abandoned by others? Full of anger and misery at the same time?
Conversation
"If I see but one smile on your lips when we meet, occasioned by this or any other exertion of mine, I shall need no other happiness."
Can you feel how miserable he must be? Isn't this what we ask from others? To accept and love us for who we are.

"Why did I not die? More miserable than man ever was before, why did I not sink into forgetfullness and rest? Death snatches away many blooming children, the only hopes of their doting parents, how many have been one day..--

"..--in the bloom of health and hope, and the next a prey for worms and the decay of the tomb! Of what materials was I made, that I could thus resist so many shocks, which, like the turning of the wheel, continually renewed the torture? But I was doomed to live."

"Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay. To mould me Man, did I solicit thee. From darkness to promote me?"
I like this quote, where Adam questions victor Frankenstein.

Read the Book of Job in the Old Testament Bible. There is exactly the same kind of dialogue going on between Job and God.
