Is it just me or does this horrible, evil being seem to be more of a very helpful peeping Tom whose in need of a makeover? Everyone is so quick to judge the creature based on his appearance. Even his creator thinks he is awful when he's never even taken the chance to get to know him. Everything we've heard from the creature seems to convey the exact opposite. He is selfless in his actions and emotions. When he sees this family suffering he cuts them firewood and shovels the snow for them. He does more than just their chores. He talks about how when the family was upset he was distraught and when they were happy he felt great joy. Is a creature that is supposedly dark and evil truly capable of such selfless emotions/ actions? The irony is is that everyone judges him on his appearance. Even he admits that he is hideous, but that is the exact opposite of his personality. If all these people took the time to get to know him or witnessed all his good deeds, they would realize he really isn't that bad. In fact I think people would grow to love him and respect him. But people, including Victor, never took the time to get to know him because of his looks. Ironic....
