Frankenstein Analysis Essays - Frankenstein, Freak Out, Blind Man

Frankenstein camps out by a house in the woods, and watches a quaint little DeLacey family as a boy teaches a girl how to read and write properly. He chills in his little hide out next to their house for a very long time, and learns how to speak. He learns how to read, and he learns how to write. Most importantly, he learns how to be proper in society (relatively speaking). The DeLacey family was an incredible influence on him, and he learned many valuable things from them. Their existence is essentially portrayed in an entirely different dimension than the Monster?s. They are normal, happy, good looking people living their lives, while he, an unintelligent and hideous being, sits outside and watches. This is why he was drawn to them. He wants to be normal. He wants to be more like them. So he stays and learns everything that he can. He helps the DeLacy family in some ways as well, however. He talks to the blind man, who thinks he is a normal person and does not cower in fear. But wh en the other family members see him they at first freak out like all the rest. This teaches them that it isn?t a good thing to judge people by how they look on the outside.
