Which quotation best explains why the narrator continues his journey to the Place of the Gods?
Read the
passage from "By the waters of Babylon."
Surely, that was enough to do, and live. Surely it was
enough to spend the night upon the cliff. The Forest
People themselves do not come near. Yet, all through
the night, I knew that I should have to cross the river
and walk in the places of the gods, although the gods
ate me up. My magic did not help me at all and yet
there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind. When
the sun rose, I thought, "My journey has been clean.
Now I will go home from my journey." But, even as !
thought so, I knew I could not. If I went to the Place of
the Gods, I would surely die, but, if I did not go, I could
never be at peace with my spirit again. It is better to
lose one's life than one's spirit, if one is a priest and the
son of a priest.
"When the sun rose, I thought, 'My journey has been
clean."
"The Forest People themselves do not come near."
"I could never be at peace with my spirit again."
"My magic did not help me at all and yet there was a
fire."

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored 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 pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
