Annoyance

"I see by your eagerness and the wonder and hope which your eyes express, my friend, that you expect to be informed of the secret with which I am acquainted; that cannot be; listen patiently until the end of my story, and you will easily perceive why I am reserved upon that subject. I will not lead you on, unguarded and ardent as I then was, to your destruction and infallible misery..." (51-52)

One aspect of the novel that I have found rather annoying, is Frankenstein's tendency to leave out important (in my opinion) and interesting information. When describing his work and time spent creating the monster, I was waiting for details as to the method he used to form the monster. However, he tells the audience that providing that information would lead to misery. In other words, his creation of the body led to his own misery. After reading this quote, my curiosity sparked, and I wanted to know why obtaining such information would lead to unhappiness. It's rather odd to me that he has worked so hard in his studies and career, and all of the knowledge he has spent time attaining, has come back to haunt him. It scares me actually. To know that I may one day work so hard for something, and it only leads to misery. Anywho, I just want to know if he reveals to his family and society that he was the one who created the monster. I want to know if he reveals how he did it to anyone ever...or if he has always kept it a secret. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!
