I killed William: Chapter 16
I told master of how I killed the child. As the child cursed me "I grasped his throat to silence him" and as soon as my hands reached his throat, he was dead at my feet (Shelley 104). I told him how happy I was to see him dead. He was my first victim and I laughed in the glory of my conquest. The child rebuked me. As a child I thought that he wouldn't be consumed by the love of beauty but I was wrong. I also told him about the young lady I met in the barn. I told him how I put the picture in her pocket. I watched him as the fury burned in his eyes. After my story, he again rebuked me. I thought that he accepted me, but now he hated me. I know I killed his brother and caused his much pain, but how can a human mind be so ever changing.

So we had discussion in class whether or not the creature really killed William and we find out in Chapter 16 that he really did. Would you say that the creature regret killing William? And if not is it because he wanted revenge on Victor? And can you still say that he has a soul? I mean... yes he has his own thoughts but he doesn't realize that what he has done was wrong and doesn't truly understand humans. Just like animals. Its just a thought... I don't even know if I truly agree. Haha.
