“I am an unfortunate and deserted creature, I look around and I have no relation or friend upon earth. These amiable people to whom I go have never seen me and know little of me. I am full of fears, for if I fail there, I am an outcast in the world forever.”
– Mary Shelley
Frankenstein, Chapter 15. The monster telling De Lacey he doesn’t have any friends because his creator didn’t give him a partner.
