Their benevolent disposition
The repetition of the adjective "benevolent" three times in as many
paragraphs indicates the stress Mary
Shelley places on this as
a fundamental attribute of human virtue. However it may be stressed in
Victor's memory, the frequency with which such benevolence is actually
encountered as a motivating force will be tested when the Creature flees
Victor's apartment and attempts to make his way in the world.
