The creature grew fond of the family and perceived them to be his protectors. He laboriously studied the family; he learned about their relations to one another, he felt their moods and he practiced their language. He had hoped to be accepted as a member of the family and developed a plan for revealing himself. He decided to first approach the elderly, blind father; the creature hoped to gain the father's friendship and to be introduced to the rest of his family. On finding the father alone one day, the creature approached the cottage and spoke with the father. The father unable to see the creature showed kindness towards him. Unfortunately, the children returned within minutes and upon seeing the creature thought their father was in danger. The few moments of acceptance were quickly turned to rejection.

One must consider this tale as a morality play. The hatred and unkindness express by the many to the few results in terrible consequences. Did Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold kill themselves and others because of the pain inflicted through the constant teasing they received? Was the extreme anxiety Seung-Hui Cho suffered caused by rejection? Did the lack of social acceptance and the resulting self- hatred become his motivation for committing mass murder at Virginia Tech?

In the end, the creature feared himself. He feared his response to rejection had overtaken him. The end of the revenge he sought could be relieved only by the suffering and death of Frankenstein; just as Frankenstein believed he could only relieve his suffering through the dead of the creature.
