WORKSHEET 1 – monsters everywhere

A) Listen to your teacher reading the text. Then answer the question.

At the moment he animates his patchwork of flesh he recoils in

horror. "How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how

delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had

endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his

features as beautiful. Beautiful!-Great God! His yellow skin scarcely

covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath: his hair was of a

lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pear whiteness; but these

luxuriences only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that

seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they

were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips"
