“
As the images that floated before me become more distinct, I grew feverish; a darkness pressed around me: no one was near me who soothed me with the gentle voice of love; no dear hand supported me. The physician came and prescribed medicines, and the old woman prepared them for me; but utter carelessness was visible in the first, and the expression of brutality was strongly marked in the visage of the second.

    This passage intensifies the creature’s profound isolation and despair. The contrast between his fevered vulnerability and the caregivers’ "utter carelessness" and "brutality" highlights society’s dehumanization of him. The rhetorical question—framing himself as a "murderer" only valued by a hangman—deepens his alienation, reflecting both his internalized shame and society’s merciless judgment. The absence of "gentle voice of love" underscores his existential abandonment, mirroring the novel’s critique of a world that rejects empathy for the Other.
