"I declared ever-lasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me"

shows the turning point when it becomes the monster

"what was I?"

- simplicity of question (childlike innocence) - lack of identity/ until looking in a mirror doesn't understands its treatment

"I am malicious because I am miserable"

- actions later are a reflection of peoples treatment - becomes as hateful and cruel as humanity was to it

"my enemy is not invulnerable; this death will carry despair to him"

- changes: desperate acts of survival to deliberately cruel actions - does it only to hurt Frankenstein

"I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend"

- shows it knows what it is doing and why - word contrasts shows change by treatment not nature - shows corrupting nature of revenge as motivator for actions in the novel

"tore to pieces"

- Frankenstein becoming monstrous himself - violent acts reflect monsters - revenge leads Frankenstein to act the brutal way he condems the moster for

"a howl of devilish despair and revenge"

- shows how grief turns to anger fuelled by pain prompting vengeance

"I will be with you on your wedding night"

- sense of foreshadowing - hints the cycle will continue (both have become trapped) - growing intelligence and cruelty, deliberately vague

"most severe evil"

- how isolation is seen - "severe evil" and pain leads to vengeance

"I now ask thee to pardon me"

- formality, the monster trying to gain back humanity - without cloud of anger it realises what it has become - by the death the anger trapping both destroyed everything

"the very remembrance of us both will speedily vanish"

- monster finally realises destructive force of vengeance has destroyed everything and everyone around them - they will not be remembered

"monster is the man who tries to play god"

- monster is the embodiment of the man who tried to play god - created something that is a product of his ambition and reflection of his arrogance in his belief that he could play god - highlights the dangers and consequences of trying to control forces of nature beyond humans - ties into overall message warning against trying to achieve beyond the boundaries of nature and letting anger and vengeance control your actions.
