Shelley's novel. Against all his prejudices as Victor's friend, against his repugnance
to face a multiple murderer, against his basic human instincts that revolt from such
sublime ugliness, Robert Walton wills himself into a state of ethical selflessness
that is truly benevolent. The Creature's "wonder" at this unique experience in his
existence is only to be expected. He has never before been confronted by human inclusiveness.
