Frankenstein-Sympathy

''I saw few human beings besides them; and if any other happened to enter the cottage, their harsh manners and rude gait only enhanced to me the superior accomplishments of my friends" (pg 79). The monster spends his life in the forest watching this family for most of the day. He has never met the young couple or the old man before but he considers them to be his friends. When the little boy, William, was killed, Victor immediately blames Creature. The reader also feels compelled to hate Creature because Victor describes him as wretched and disgusting. When Creature becomes the third narrator, the reader feels more sympathy towards him. He wants friends and is depressed and lonely. He is very similar to Robert because Robert was also in desperate need of a friend. Monster could not even talk to anyone because everyone was so frightened.
