【正文】 himself into studying the language. The book from which Felix instructs Safie is Volney’s Ruin of Empires . Through eavesdropping their conversation, the monster has a cursory knowledge of the system of human society. “Though this work I obtained a cursory knowledge of history and a view of the several empires at present existing in the world。 it gave me an insight into the manners, governments, and religious of the different nations of the earth.”(Shelley,1996:120) He also starts thinking about the rank, descent,and noble blood. “While I listened to the instructions which Felix bestowed upon the Arabian, the strange system of human society was explained to me. I heard of the division of property, of immense wealth and squalid poverty, of rank, descent, and noble blood.”(Shelley,1996:132) Thus he realizes that if a man has no status and wealth, he will be seen as “ a vagabond and a slave,doomed to waste his power for the profits of the chosen few!”(Shelley,1996:140)In addition, the monster has a strong ability of social munication. From his munication with old De Lacey, we can see that he pletely gets the ability to municate with other people. Moreover, the reader will not forget, when the monster persuades Frankenstein to create a partner for him, his ability of language and the ability of social munication are no less than his creator. The monster even participates in social labor. When the monster finds the youth spend a great part of each day in collecting wood for fire, to assist him, the monster takes the tools, the use of which he discovers in a short time, and brings sufficient homefiring for the consumption of several days. Later the monster also helps the family sweep the snow.2 The Monster’s Spiritual Destruction Change of the Monster’s Mind The monster is forced to be both “silent” and “invisible”. When he hears the pleasant songs of the birds and tries to imitate, his harsh voice fails his attempt. Because of Victor’s desertion and the villager’s hostile attitude, the monster has to isolate himself to bee the “invisible” man. The sharp contrast in voice and configuration between the monster and other people deflates the monster. As a toddler, when he gets a glimpse of himself in the mirror for the first time the monster sees his own figure in a pool. There is a metaphor that Jacques Lacan who is a famous psychologist employs to describe how a baby is seduced into believing she is a unity by the unitary image that is seen in the mirror, but as matter of fact, the image is only a deception. He or she, as a subject, enters the imaginary order, and es to view himself as a subject rather than a fragmented collection. And the baby starts to tell herself from “others”. In a similar way, the monster views himself in the pool and is shocked at his own image in the pool and that makes him fully aware of his “Otherness”. He is totally different from those villagers who he believes have the perfect forms and is convinced that he is a real monstrosity. When De Lacey family refuse to accept him and even attack him,driving him away from the house, the monster’s heart is destroyed deeply. “ Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not。 despair had not yet taken possession of me。 my feelings were those of rage and revenge. I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitants and have glutted myself with their shrieks and misery.”(Shelley,1996:136) After the monster sets fire to the house of De Lacey family, it marks the monster’s spiritual evolution begins to turn to the mental destruction. Seeking Help from the Father After De Lacey family move away, the monster thinks of his father Frankenstein. This is a kind of degradation. When a person suffers a setback or is frustrated by something outside, he will be eager to e back to the embrace of his family or his parents. The purpose of this kind of degradation is linked together with the parents’ embrace and mand. Those who want to stay in their parents’ embrace forever have a permanent dependency to the parents. Once leaving their parents, he will be full of unbearable anxiety. In De Lacey family, the father old De Lacey is amiable, the youth show filial obedience. This makes the monster also want to have a father. Just as he says “I was alone. I remembered Adam’s supplication to his Creator. But where was mine?” (Shelley,1996:105) The monster feels alone and depressed so much, especially after he finds De Lacey family that he loves very much leaves knows that they also disgust him for his ugly he decides to find his father who gives him life and then abandons him. “Now ,with the world before me, whither should I bend my steps? I resolved to fly far from the scene of my misfortune。 but to me, hated and despised, every country must be equally length the thought crossed my mind. I learned from your papers that you were my father, my creator。 and no whom could I apply with more fitness than to him who had given me life?” Then he begins to find his creator. His travels are long and the sufferings he endures intense. When he meets Frankenstein, he says to him “Oh Frankenstein, be not equitable to every other and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. Remember that I am thy creator。 I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.”(Shelley,1996:122) Believing the power of the father, the monster hopes Frankenstein can create a female panion for him. Then the monster decides to go to South America with his partner and never e back. This is a means to get rid of loneliness. The monster withdraws from society and lives in solitude. This shows that the monster is ready to retreat from social life. Taking Crazy Disruptive Behavior Fromm thought, for some impetus driv
