If I were to die and found myself at the bar before the Supreme Judge who threatened me with eternal damnation unless I could mount an effective defense for my past actions, I might be tempted to have Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly entered into the record.
I would then state that the defense rests secure in the knowledge that a verdict of innocent was a foregone conclusion.
"I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.
Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous."
