" I was their plaything and their idol, and something better—their child, the innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by Heaven, whom to bring up to good, and whose future lot it was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery, according as they fulfilled their duties towards me"(1)
Victors uprising played a huge role as he matured into an adult, it's clear that Victor was idolized as a child making him entitled. This just helps demonstrate how Victor's family influences played a major role in his self-centered behavior when he built the creature. After all, his obsession with his goals causes him to entirely overlook his wellbeing, happiness, and even his family.

" And when, on the morrow, she presented Elizabeth to me as her promised gift, I, with childish seriousness, interpreted her words literally and looked upon Elizabeth as mine-mine to protect, love, and cherish"(24)
Victor might love Elizabeth, but he also considers her to be his possession. This could be his way of expressing his love for her, but Victor's passion for the people and things he wants could be showing a wrong kind of obsession.

I am poor and an exile, but it will afford me true pleasure to be in any way serviceable to a human creature" (chapter 15)
The creature was able to connect with this old blind man because it was the first time he wasn't judged by his appearance. The elderly man's statements touched on a sensitive subject  in which he believed humanity shouldn't have the ability to judge ones appearance but take in the people with a genuine heart and soul.

"  I learned, from the views of social life which it developed, to admire their virtues and to deprecate the vices of mankind". (128) 
After spending some time observing the family, the creature is already able to feel human emotion. He feels this sadness for people but what he's frustrated about is no one being able to sympathize with him. The monster finds it more difficult to really embrace both himself and other people since he is frequently rejected, which makes him angry and appeals to his more destructive side. ]]> 2023-05-24 14:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2603395748 valentina_toro https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2604661314 "But my heart sank within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained. I saw him on the point of repeating his blow, when, overcome by pain and anguish, I quitted the cottage, and in the general tumult escaped unperceived to my hovel.”(chapter 15), 
Rejection is something that the creature constantly encountered but this specific moment in the story completely shifts the monsters viewpoint on society where it's just pure hatred. Not only the physical pain he encountered but the emotional pain showed him that no one would truly ever accept him. 
“When night came I quitted my retreat and wandered in the wood; and now, no longer restrained by the fear of discovery, I gave vent to my anguish in fearful howlings. I was like a wild beast that had broken the toils, destroying the objects that obstructed me and ranging through the wood with a stag-like swiftness" (chapter 16), 
In this instance, it is obvious that the monster wants to get revenge on Victor and that he feels as though he is no longer capable of feeling any form of sympathy. The creature's violent and destructive nature can demonstrate exactly how dangerous he can be, leading him to kill others casually in an effort to avenge Victor. It is obvious that the creature naturally feels real pain and loss as a result of being rejected by the DeLacey family, which brings forth this part of him. ]]> 2023-05-25 10:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2604661314 laura_brill1 https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2617109301 “Begone! I will not hear you. There can be no community between you and me; we are enemies. Begone, or let us try our strength in a fight, in which one must fall.” (chapter 10) 
Victors denial shows his true selflessness, he not only irritated by the creature's frustration, but he also feels compelled to destroy him. 
“Abhorred monster! Fiend that thou art! The tortures of hell are too mild a vengeance for thy crimes. Wretched devil! You reproach me with your creation, come on, then, that I may extinguish the spark which I so negligently bestowed.”(chapter 10) 
Readers may now clearly see Victor's true self as he exhibits unrestrained vengeance for the creature. Overall, Victor's interests and entitlement gradually influence how he would act towards the future of the novel. ]]> 2023-06-07 13:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2617109301 laura_brill1 https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2617115339 Both of the characters have a very complicated relationship with each other and the society. Victors uprising and family influence build his selfish nature which causes all of the future conflicts bringing in the creature into a world where he isn't accepted anywhere. The creatures ability to build connections and establish true feelings but then completely getting teared down by the people around him causes his dangerous downfall. ]]> 2023-06-07 13:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/valentina_toro/3hh5aith9x8qvqo1/wish/2617115339
