Question

in chapter 12 of mary shelleys frankenstein, how did the creature begin to feel emotions of joy, and depression?
○ by reading poetry
○ by experiencing the emotions of his neighbors as they experienced them
○ by dating the girl in the cottage
○ by making a lamb his pet

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall Chapter 12 of Frankenstein. The Creature observes the De Lacey family (his neighbors) and experiences their emotions (joy, sorrow) through their interactions, which helps him feel those emotions too. Option A (reading poetry) is incorrect as poetry is part of his learning but not how he first feels joy/depression. Option B (dating the girl) is wrong as he doesn't date. Option D (making a lamb his pet) is incorrect. So the correct option is the one about experiencing neighbors' emotions.

Answer:

C. by experiencing the emotions of his neighbors as they experienced them
