Prompt:

In the letter from Robert Walton to his sister dated September 12th in Frankenstein, Walton encounters the creature mourning the death of Victor Frankenstein and states

"It is well that you come here to whine over the desolation that you have made. You throw a torch into a pile of buildings, and when they are consumed, you sit among the ruins and lament the fall. Hypocritical fiend! If he whom you mourn still lived, still would he be the object, again would he become the prey, of your accursed vengeance. It is not pity that you feel; you lament only because the victim of your malignity is withdrawn from your power."

Walton's opinion of the creature's mourning is one of indignation and disbelief because the creature is asking Victor to forgive his transgressions. Think about Walton's statement and then follow the directions for this discussion.
