The monstrous is further mystified, not just as a zombie, who has come by black magic
into a false and unnatural vitality, but also as a demon, a supernatural embodiment
of evil. The progression is thus from the wretched (alienated) to wretch (marginally
human) to monster (inhuman) to demon (antihuman). And howsoever the Creature is named
or names himself, as he will richly illustrate in the second volume (especially II:5:17
and II:7:7), so he becomes.
