The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: consequences of my consent, but I felt that there was some
justice in his argument. His tale and the feelings he now
expressed proved him to be a creature of fine sensations, and did
I not as his maker owe him all the portion of happiness that it was
in my power to bestow? He saw my change of feeling and continued,
"If you consent, neither you nor any other human being shall
ever see us again; I will go to the vast wilds of South America.
My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid to
glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment.
My companion will be of the same nature as myself and will be content
with the same fare. We shall make our bed of dried leaves;
