This section of the book his littered with the monsters thoughts. The first time we see the monsters inner self is at the beginning of chapter 9. The monster is at a lack of common sense in the beginning. We come to him in the woods and he is baffled by the moon. He is awe inspired really. Not to mention the fire that he came across while strolling in the woods. He noticed that the fire needed wood in order to keep a lit and he found this very interesting.. He burned his hand upon trying to grasp the hot charcoal. Pretty much, Frankenstein highlights just about every Romantic trait of the day. Celebration of the Ordinary, beauty of nature, the primitive, and the exotic all summed up into this one character. The creature came to a village where everyone but one family ran in fear. The family invited the creature to live at their farm. The creature slept in this lean-to like structure that leaned up against the house. Here is where the monster tries to understand and learn the customs of the humans, which he so desperately wishes to be.
Shelley's representation of the monster Frankenstein is one of intelligence and wittiness,
