Passage: Volume I, Chapter 4 of Gris Grimly’s Frankenstein In paragraph 4, Frankenstein states:

“Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room, and threw myself on the bed in my clothes, endeavoring to seek a few moments of forgetfulness.”

This sentence BEST supports the idea that Frankenstein

• is exhausted from sleeping so little.

• cannot stand the sight of the creature.

• is afraid of his creation.

• cannot remember why he ever decided this was a good idea.

Answer explanation

When he says that he was “unable to endure the aspect of the being [he] had created,” Frankenstein means that he physically could not stand the sight of the creature (4).

• . Frankenstein is filled with disgust and runs away to his bedroom.

• The creature opens his eyes.

• Frankenstein ignites the spark that brings the creature to life.

Answer explanation

At the end of paragraph 3, he states that “the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart,” and in paragraph 4, he “rushed out of the room, and threw [him]self on the bed.” He “beheld the wretch” standing over him in paragraph 5 and “took refuge” in the courtyard outside his house in paragraph 6.
