"Soon a gentle light stole over the heavens and gave me a sensation of pleasure. I started up and beheld a radiant form rise from the trees." (91)
Shelley recognizes humankind’s fascination with the moon and the sky and ties that fascination in with the monster’s desire to be and feel human. From the first night that he noticed it, the creation feels an immediate need for love and caring from someone, and seeks social contact. However, whenever he confronts a human with the hope for affection, he’s always attacked verbally and physically. He cannot be human, because he isn't given the chance to feel human emotions. If Frankenstein was there to provide him with what he needed, the monster could have matured very differently.
fascination with "the sky in general?" not sure about that language

what do you mean by "it"? This is another entry where I feel like you are not quite saying everything you are thinking.
