Chapter 14 //The Freak Finds Friends//

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."

**__Contributors__** Shannon Alexander & Kayla Wilding

The monster tells Frankenstein about the history of the DeLacey family. The DeLacey's son helped his love's father escape from prison, so they were exiled from France and stripped of their wealth. The family moved to Germany.

The monster and the DeLaceys stories are like the story of Jesus. He was rejected and persecuted by his own people and had to deal with great pain and loss. The monster was rejected by Victor, and Safie's father was rejected by the French people because he was a foreigner. Jesus' sacrifice was his life, the DeLaceys sacrificed their wealth and were forced to (forced to.....?)

 * Motifs/Symbols:**

The monster was exiled, and so were the DeLaceys. He identified with them because they were outcasts, much like him. Safie's father was rejected because he was different; he was a Turkish man living in France. The monster was different in that he was ugly, tall, and odd looking compared to other humans.

exile -the DeLaceys were exiled from their home country of France. loss - the DeLaceys lost all of their wealth and their home, and Safie's attendant dies at the end of the chapter. injustice - the monster points out that Victor was not the only one who had to suffer; the DeLacey family suffered a lot also, for they lost all of their wealth, had to move to an unfamiliar country. (a bit redundant)
 * Themes:**

int his chapter, the monster is telling Victor about the family living in the cottage. DeLacey, the old man, was a wealthy and successful man in Paris. He had two children, Felix and Agatha. A Turkish man was falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death in prison. Felix visited the man in prison, and fell in love with his daughter, Safie. Felix helped Safie's father escape from prison. Once their plot was discovered, Felix, Agatha, and DeLacey were exiled from France and stripped of their wealth. They moved to Germany. Safie's father tried to force her to return to Turkey with him, but she ran away to try and find Felix. (this is more plot summary than character development. Talk about the creature - how did he change in this chapter?)
 * Character Development:**

"Safie nursed her with the most devoted affection, but the poor girl died, and the Arabian was left alone, unacquainted with the language of the country and utterly ignorant of the customs of the world."
 * Significant Quotes and explanations:**

This quote shows the injustice in the DeLacey's lives that the creator is explaining to Victor. Safie is in a new country and unacquainted because they were exiled. Also, although Safie nursed the girl with everything effort, the girl still died. After the girl dies, this quote shows the isolation that Safie feels in the new country. She does not know the customs of this new country, and she has nobody with her in this unfamilar place.

“He was tried and condemned to death. The injustice of his sentence was very flagrant; all Paris was indignant; and it was judged that his religion and wealth rather than the crime alleged against him had been the cause of his condemnation.”

This quote helps to show the theme of injustice, and helps to show how the characters and Shelley feel about injustice. Shelley clearly states that the decision of this case was unjust. What she points out is that all of the city was upset at this outcome. Shelley is using her characters to point out her hatred of injustice.
