Confirm or disconfirm
after readin the words of Rouses i would say that he disconfirms the state of nature in Frankensiten, which is to say he feels that man is born good, savage he calls it, and it is all the bullshit that he has to deal with and worry about in life that currupts him. this is different to the state i got from Frankenstien, atleast when its directly stated by Victor were he says that the monster was born evil, which i think is an ignorant statment on his part, especially after the monster comes to him and fully explains himself. but, Rouses says that the first man was good and it is justall the extra knowledge that he learns as his life progresses that makes him evil, and personally i agree too, that no one wants to be evil intiatly but through their enviroment they become shaped and molded, much like victor with his monster.
