The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: intimated that the fiend would follow me and exempt my family
from the danger of his machinations.
It was in the latter end of September that I again quitted my
native country. My journey had been my own suggestion, and Elizabeth
therefore acquiesced, but she was filled with disquiet at the idea
of my suffering, away from her, the inroads of misery and grief.
It had been her care which provided me a companion in Clerval--
and yet a man is blind to a thousand minute circumstances which
call forth a woman's sedulous attention. She longed to bid me
hasten my return; a thousand conflicting emotions rendered her
mute as she bade me a tearful, silent farewell.
