.... impersonal eyes in the absence of all desire.”(17). White is also a color that I find to be lacking depth and substantial emotion.

He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her pe .....

.... abandonment the monster feels throughout the story. He expresses it by telling Walton "...I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on."
