• What his feelings were Mary Shelley at once reminds us that the Creature has feelings and that, except on
    the one occasion on Mont Blanc when he told his life story (II:3:1), they are wholly
    indecipherable to Victor, beset as he is with his calculations of revenge. She also
    prepares us for his unmediated reintroduction into the arena of the novel when in
    its last scene he comes aboard Walton's ship (III:Walton:33).
