- “Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant; but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property.” (p. 107)
After spending numerous hours studying how the three peasants live and interact with each other, Shelley describes this moment as a true turning point for the monster. Learning the language, methods of survival, and how social classes work, the monster is discovering that he has very little to advance him in society. By now, he truly feels abandoned, like an outcast, and struggles to find his own identity. The monster is experiencing reality as he doesn’t fit into a “normal” category and is left stuck in the body of a hideous, deformed creature.
