Ever since I was a little girl, I had heard about our house in Guyana. It was beautiful: a long white box with a series of windo

ws, each shaded by delicate lattice shutters. Like all the houses in the area, where the land easily floods, it sat on slender stilts; underneath was what was called the bottomhouse, where the chickens strutted about.

Why does the monster see himself as different from Adam?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: B. Adam was formed by a loving creator, whereas the monster was formed by a careless creator.

As the monster gains consciousness and knowledge, he comes to hate his fate more and more. He sees himself as cursed, and feels sorry about the fact that he was ever created. Moreover, he compares himself to Adam, the first man, because he is the first creature of his kind. However, this makes him even more miserable, as he thinks that Adam was created by a loving creator, while the creature was created by a careless creator.
