After leaving Victor, the monster, is thrown into the wild...literally. The monster has to fend for himself finding food and shelter. He is like a child, having to learn all of the basics: hot, cold, light, dark, hunger, and thirst. In the wilderness he learns that a fire has a warming sensation, but is dismayed that the fire burns him. Unfortunately, the monster learns that humans are judgmental, twice he is judged as scary, evil, and a demon. Picking up on the fact that he is not welcomed around humans very quickly. Through these actions, I believe that Mary Shelley is trying to point out the flaws in our society. However, he immediately grasps the idea of feelings and emotions that his cottagers show while rooming with them. Even learning how to talk by listening to the family. He further extends his knowledge when he finds books in the forest. Forming ideals and opinions after reading them. Do you think that the monster is intelligent? will he keep forming his own opinions? But will he ever be accepted into society?
