Frankenstein / Mary Shelly / Ch 10-12

“I expected this reception,” said the daemon. “All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things!” (Shelly 68).  The thing can speak!  Who could the thing learn to speak so eloquently in the span of two years?  The monster is portrayed as having very human emotional characteristics.  He knows he is hated.  How does the monster know who created him if when he was first created he could not make sense of all of his senses individually?  I like how Shelly portrays the monsters early days.  He is lost and can’t make since of what his mind is thinking.  It in a way gives a perspective of what a new born baby may think. This is interesting also thought that the monster remembers those early days so vividly. While the monster is observing the family why does no one find him?  It seems odd that they would have never heard him through the wall.
