Monster's diary 11th January Today I have been created but I escaped from the laboratory because my father hated me. I was hungry, thirsty and very frightened.
12th January I began to see and hear clearly. I was very cold because of the snow, I needed food and a place to get warm. But everybody shouted when they saw me. I saw an old man who was cooking, I tried to ask him for help but he ran away as fast as he could. I didn't understand what the man was doing. I sat near the fire and ate man's breakfast. All the people hated me, I felt so miserable!
13th January This morning I found a small house with a hut. In the hut there was a small hole, through it I could see three people that lived in the house (a girl, an old man and a young man). I decided to stay here for a few days.
14th17th January I could see how kind they were to each other. I wanted so much to go into the house and be with them, but I couldn't forget how the village people had hurt me.
8th February I was learning to understand some of the words, the first words that I understood was 'fire' and 'bread'. Slowly I began to speak.

15th February Today it has been a bad day, because I saw my face in the water of the river, it was a terrible face. I understood why people were frightened, I've got an horrible face and body. I couldn't let these people see me.
2nd March I heard them talk about the good creature who help them. I was happy because it was the first time that anybody was kind to me. Although I know that they don’t know I'm a monster.
6th June Today the young people left the house. And I decided to talk to the old man, because he was blind and he couldn’t see my terrible face. He was nice to me and I felt good when I was with him. But when the young man saw me he hit me and I felt a big disappointment.
15th June I felt sad and angry for what had happened. I thought of Frankenstein, my creator and father and I decided to find him.
16th June I got sadder and angrier. I hated him because he had given me a life but he didn’t love me. I’m going to Geneva to find him.
22nd June I reached Geneva. I saw a child but when he saw me he shouted loudly the name of Frankestein. When I heard the name I got angry and I killed him with my hands, because I wanted Frankestein to be painful.

9th July I killed as many people as I could, and I felt unhappy for it. But I wanted to hurt Frankestein. I saw Frankestein this morning and I told him my story and my feelings I asked him to make a monster woman because I was alone and sad. He accepted. I feel happier now.
30th July I'm waiting for my new wife, I think I could forgive my father if he keeps his promise.

16th September I was angry with Frankestein and I wanted him to be miserable.

19th February Today I discovered that Frankenstein was dead, it's so hard for me because I loved him.
20th February I felt badly by all what I had done to Frankestein. I wanted to say to him that I was sorry, but I couldn't do it because he was dead. I am angry with myself and sad. I just want to die and be at peace.
