pg 13
"But I-I have lost everything and cannot begin life anew."

pg 50
"Two years had now nearly elapsed since the night on which he first received life; and was this his first crime?"

pg 54
"During the whole of this wretched mockery of justice I suffered living torture... but I was absent when it was committed, and such a declaration would have been considered the ravings of a madman, and would not have exculpated her who suffered through me."

pg 57
"the tortures of the accused did not equal mine"

pg 59
"I bore a hell within me."

pg 69
"You, my creator abhor me; what hope can I gather from my fellow creatures who owe me nothing?"

pg 58
"It was to be."There lay the pity of it. An immeasurable social chasm was to divide our heroine's personality thereafter from that previous self of hers who stepped from her mother's door to try her fortune at Tantridge poultry farm."

pg 67
"her sole idea seemed to shut mankind- or rather that cold accretion called the world, which, so terrible in mass, is so formidable, even pitiable in its units."

pg 68
"She had been made to break an accepted social law, but no law known to the environment in which she fancied herself such an anomaly."

pg 72
"to all humankind besides, Tess was only a passing thought... If she could have been created, to discover herself as a spouseless mother, with no experience in life except as a parent of a nameless child, would the position have caused her to despair? No, she would have taken it calmly and found pleasures therein. Most of the misery had been generated by her conventional aspect, and not by her innate sensations."

96
"What a fresh and virginal daughter of nature that milkmaid is!" he said to himself."

pg 107
"none of them but herself seemed to see the sorrow of it; to a certainty not one knew how cruelly it touched the tender place in her experience."

pg 136
"I cannot be your wife!"

pg 154
"Silence seemed.. best for her adored one's happiness."

pg183
"You were one person; now you are another."

pg 260-261
"we did it to prove you have souls at all."
"shadowy objects in test tubes"

pg 81
"Your lives are set out for you... You were brought into this world for a purpose, and your futures, all of them, have been decided."

pg 72
"that same look in her eyes she always had when she looked at us, like she was seeing something that gave her the creeps. Except this time there was something else, something extra in that look I couldn't fathom."

pg 36
"Waiting for the moment when you realize that you really are different to them; that there are people out there like Madame, who don't hate you or wish you any harm, but who nevertheless shudder at the very thought of you- of how you were brought into this world and why- and who dread the idea of your hand brushing against theirs."

All of them have to bear the consequences of being different from society

Tess is ostracized by Angel which causes her to turn to Alec; she ultimately frees herself from her shame when she kills Alec (who caused her otherness) but has to be executed for that because she breaks man's law

Tess-- Creation: Tess's creator wants her, but she eventually kills him because he is the root of her otherness; non physical differences- she can still connect with others: Angel
the creation's creator does not want him, so the creation wants Victor to feel the loneliness he feels by killing all his friends and family- wants the creator to live because he is the only one the creation can connect with; physical differences

Bernard- will never fit in physically and will always feel inferior or insecure although he is offered to be part of an island society; he would rather try to conform than embrace his differences

Creation will never be part of society unless Victor accepts him, but after the creation kills everyone in Victor's circle, that will never happen; must bear the consequences of being alone forever

Victor never takes responsibility of creating the creation; never shows that he is different from the society as the mad scientist

# data[].attributes.body
Not being able to hide being an outsider; physical differences

Kathy in Never Let Me Go- clones are separated since birth and are thought of as less than others in society; never realizes this until older
The Creation in Frankenstein- turns on his creator, because he blames Victor for creating him as an outsider physically- giant and stronger than man

# data[].attributes.body
inner differences- can hide them from society
Tess- hides her rape, or lack virginity but feels shame and holds out against Angel trying to marrying her
Frankenstein- hides that he made a creation so that he will not be seen as an outsider which ends up getting all of his friends and family killed

Frankenstein's shame physically manifests and causes him to be sick while Tess's shame causes her to tell Angel the truth

they have the ability to hide their otherness, while others do not

I like your thesis.... which quote are you responding to? Oh nvm I see it. How can you incorporate it into your thesis?

# data[].attributes.body
Commonality of man is the fear of being different. Everyone feels it at least once in her life and reading can comfort us by making us not feel alone in our struggles-and can even give us advice because books show the variety of reactions people have to being ostracized. Reading helps us accept each other's differences and embrace uniqueness, whether it is considered good or bad by the society. That is why people who read are considered more empathetic because they "imagine the lives of others"

# data[].attributes.body
"People who read imagine the lives of others. Literature makes other people more real to us. It invites us to notice differences but, even more so, points towards commonality..."

Analyze man’s greatest fear and how that influences actions- to be the other

The characters in Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Frankenstein, and Never Let Me Go all struggle with their otherness or differences from society and those around them. This shows how humans in general feel the need to be accepted by society or,  our "commonality." However, people react to being the outsider in society in many different ways.
