Frankenstein 30

• “Suddenly, as I gazed on him, an idea seized me, that this little creature was unprejudiced, and had lived too short a time to have imbibed a horror of deformity. If, therefore, I could seize him, and educate him as my companion and friend, I should not be so desolate in this peopled earth.” (p. 126)

Here, the monster believes that the child, who happens to be William, is too young to care about his hideous appearance; he cannot possibly be judgmental and form biases against looks. The monster has good intentions, but becomes desperate for acceptance and turns violent. Due to the monster's inexperience with human interaction, Shelley intends for him to be set up with disappointment again.
