The following is an example of a ______

Many may say the creature is not a human being because he commits a great amount of unpleasant and cruel actions. But humans do so as well. The creature recalls, “The guilty are allowed, by human laws, bloody as they may be, to speak in their own defence before they are condemned.” Humans commit crimes such as ones the creature did, but are given opportunities to defend themselves. Murders and offenders are in some cases still seen as people. Within the same moment, he states, “Hear my tale; On you it rests, whether I quit forever the neighbourhood of man and lead a harmless life, or become the scourge of your fellow-creatures and the author of your own speedy ruin.” Just like the creature’s actions, people’s actions also affect others. In some cases, humans and their behavior affect other humans negatively. His emotions tend to lead to something greater and monstrous, but horrid behaviors are also seen by people.
