Foreshadow

"For the first time feelings of revenge and hatred filled my bosom..."(pg 132).

As this is a frame story, the monster already knows what actions he has committed and there is a significance of foreshadow in his story. I feel this is one of the first time he possibly mentions the murder of William. The creature is truly expressing true human emotion, and one of the ultimate human emotions--despair and rage. His anger seems to arise from the fact that the De Lacey family has rejected him and left. However, his true anger is shown towards his creator who has left him to fend for himself with no other inhabitants. He mentions all that he knows about his creator, and specifically where he lives. From this context, the reader can come to understand where the monster is heading next. Although his intentions are not clear, we understand that he is looking for revenge. Connect the pieces and it makes sense who killed William. The real question is, how is it that the monster was able to frame Justine? Did he truly understand the context of frame and blame?
