Blog Discussion #1
I agree with the statement that "We are what society makes us." I agree because according to the creature, at first he was good and benevolent, but when he saw that no human being treated him kindly, misery made him a fiend. The creature wanted to hurt all mankind because he saw no point in being nice to them when they were not nice to him. However, in Justine Mortiz's case, the rejection her mother felt towards her did not fully affect the way she was because she at least received love and affection from the Frankenstein family, who adopted her. She was not as lonely and miserable as the creature was, so she was still a nice person.

I agree with the statement "We are what society makes us" because a person developes their personality based on how they observe others interacting with one another.As for Frankenstein's creature, his growth of an infant-like stage through learning the ways of nature and man becomes aggresive and vile when he feels deprived of the happiness that he sees each man give to one another. He feels robbed of his right to equality when he gets scorned for performing noble deeds for man; angering him into despair and benevolance. The creature is shaped based on his treatment of the human-society.
