Can anyone summarize this in words I can understand? Self-Reliance By Ralph Waldo Emerson?

The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not ... (Asked by Cavs in '08 :))

That's from "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. "Sleep fled from my eyes; I wandered like an evil spirit, for I had committed deeds of mischief beyond description horrible, and more, much more (I persuaded myself), was yet behind." It means the character feels guilty for the death of Justine on the previous chapter.. "Yet my heart overflowed with kindness, and the love of virtue...Now all was blasted...I was seized by remorse and the sense of guilt, which hurried me away to a hell of intense tortures, such as no language can describe." the character means that he started with good intentions but later ...(Answered by Artman)

1) We can never flee the misery that is within us. It took me a long while to realize that I cannot escape myself. Many moons ago, I had an ex-girlfriend tell me that I was looking for escape. I agreed with her but I was not sure from what I was seeking escape. Many moons later, in a hotel bar I sat drinking gin with a woman I met that weekend. As the night progressed we began waxing philosophical about our lives. After having drank enough to clear my mind, I had an epiphany about ...(Answered by Gin Martini)

The monster is narrating the story. He is talking to his rescuers as he lays dying. Picture waking up and seeing everyone looking different from you "I saw and heard none like me." How would you feel? He then questions if he was a monster from whom all people ran away and who was unloved and feared....(Answered by Elaine P)
