        "This trait of kindness moved me sensibly. I had been accustomed, during the night, to steal a part of their store for my own consumption, but when I found that in doing this I inflicted pain on the cottagers, I abstained and satisfied myself with berries, nuts, and roots which I gathered from a neighbouring wood. Mary Shelley – Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (Chap. 12)

Victor’s creation feels sympathy for the DeLacey family whose home he has been hiding in. He feels empathy for their struggles and assist the family in their day to day plight.

This passage also exemplifies the idea that Frankenstein’s monster was reanimated with compassion and love in his heart. This echos the idea of “Nature vs Nurture”, which is the debate of whether humans are born good or evil, or if we are shaped by our experiences. This was a widely discussed philosophy topic around the time Frankenstein was written.

Associated with the end, but who's to say it isn't the path to a new beginning?
Did the Dark Ages not give way to a rebirth?
Did the night not grant us the Holy Son, brought forth in frankincense and mirth? Ben Mossholder – Dark

Tying in to this previous line, darkness is associated with the end, the ceasing of something. But I believe darkness only represents a time of change.

Did the Dark Ages of Ancient Europe not give away to the rebirth of classic knowledge?

Was Jesus Christ not brought forth to the world on Christmas Night?

Darkness is improperly viewed as an ending, it is merely a change. Humans are uncomfortable with change, so we view these changes as dark and evil.

A dope double entendre is dropped here!

Many biological weapons, such as toxins like cyanide or anthrax are transported in cans and containers before they are used.

But in addition, the mics used by many rappers to rap are often called cans, and with the ability to rap being natural for Kno, his rapping is a “biological weapon” on our ears, albeit an enjoyable weapon

This is more in reference towards the rational the US used to invade Iraq, claiming that the Hussein government still had WMD’s, specifically biological weapons that had been weaponized. It also helps lead into his next line.

The ever present, non existent derivative Ben Mossholder – Dark

In Calculus and other advanced maths, a Derivative is defined as:

How much one quantity is changing in response to changes in some other quantity

However, darkness is unchanging, and will never cease to be. Thus, a derivative of darkness will never exist.

It brings us to, and is life's final solution
It's a cycle of dark, light, and the beginning revisited Ben Mossholder – Dark

Darkness both brings us into life, and escorts us from it. We are brought from the dark to being born, and after our lives have ran their course exit life in the darkness, the same way we entered it.

Darkness is one's source of greatest solace, but the other's greatest fear Ben Mossholder – Dark

More of the opposing natures possessed in darkness, this time on a mental level, some people find nothing more peaceful and soothing than sitting in darkness.

While to some people, the dark is an embodied nightmare, and they cannot stand it’s presence.

I've always had an innate fascination with darkness, it's multi-facet nature is astonishing Ben Mossholder – Dark

All of these thoughts have came to me at one point or another throughout the night, which is generally when I find myself laying awake and pondering the most basic things around us, such as darkness.

It was here from the outset, God's first resolution Ben Mossholder – Dark

From Genesis 1:1-2:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Darkness was present before all else, it’s as old as time itself, and was the first miracle performed and melded by God.

How the lack of one thing creates what is normally an amalgamation of everything Ben Mossholder – Dark

Darkness is captivating for it’s nature of being able to exist the same way from opposing natures of creation, as in:

When talking about light and vision, darkness is created by a lack of visible light, having nothing there creates it.

But at the same time, the color of darkness, black, is created by every color in the visible spectrum being put together.

The amazing part of darkness is it’s ability to still be the same, though the ways it’s created are opposites.

Nick, your uncle… he… (Begins a light sob.) Uncle Jeff died last night of an unexpected heart attack, they tried to save him, but there was nothing they could do. He’s gone Nick. Ben Mossholder – Unopened (Scene 3)

Uncle Jeff was based off of an actual great uncle of mine who passed away around the time I broke up with my girlfriend. During this time I realized how much I had worried and harbored on such menial things in my life, which took me away from my family and things that truly mattered. This was when I began to make some changes in my life that have benefited me greatly.
