Describe the different between the monster true character and the way he is perceived by other.

The creature was essentially a child when Victor abandoned him. He survives on his own alone and afraid. There is inherent in his personality the needs that we all want to have. The creature longs to love and be loved; the creature wants a home; the creature wants to help people. These traits are the essence of the creature. It is humanity that drives the creature into despair. People treat him with contempt and terrorize him. This drives him the creature to do the evils that he does.
