    This passage from Frankenstein powerfully conveys the creature's existential agony. Through rhetorical questions and vivid contrasts—juxtaposing the ease with which death claims the innocent against his own relentless suffering—the creature laments his cursed immortality. The metaphor of the "turning of the wheel" symbolizes his unending torment, while the imagery of blooming children and lovers succumbing to death heightens his sense of isolation and injustice, underscoring his desperate yearning for oblivion.
