Complementary logic of the activities and movements of Frankenstein and the monster
Frankenstein learns and pursues secrets	the monster learns through “protectors” and reading (history, PL, Sorrows,...)
object of study: Nature	object of study: Society
discipline: Natural Philosophy	discipline: Moral Philosophy
withdraws from the social	desires to enter the social
creates a monster	provokes horror and flight
rejects monster in horror  & tries to return to the social world	feels injustice of his treatment & swears revenge upon his creator
Implication of this divided education: in some ways the monster receives, but cannot use, the education that Frankenstein never received; the primal sin of Frankenstein has been to cut himself off from the moral and social knowledge the monster grasps, and teaches him here.

The antagonistic dialogue of the self-righteous:

· Failure of the Delancy scheme has cut the monster off from the social

· Frankenstein’s horrible secret has cut him off from all others

· they meet in a landscape of Sublime Nature 75-76(91-95): one can think the unthinkably great, the extremes

· Frankenstein on the monster: “For the first time, also, I felt what the duties of a creator towards his creature were,...”79 (98)

· for the rest of the novel, the primary relationship becomes that between Frankenstein and the monster

· Frankenstein and the monster acquire an “uncanny” knowledge of each other—the monster becomes Frankenstein’s shadow

What are the implications for the interpretation of the text of seeing Frankenstein and the monster as doubles—two aspects of the same person?
