Victor Frankenstein's creature is innocent and unaware when first abandoned, but through knowledge and clashes with humans it becomes a hated and miserable form of life. Although the Creature is alone, not his entire life is spent as a demon; the Creature is often benevolent. Victor Frankenstein's Creature in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein undergoes an extreme character change based on the quote: "I was benevolent and good - misery made me a demon" (62). Everywhere he goes the Creature encounters hatred, but through hatred he still tries to help others. After: "The whole village woke up; some ran away, others attacked me, until, seriously wounded by stones and many other types of thrown weapons, I ran away...". (67). The Creature finds himself in the woods near the De Lacey house. Remaining gentle in spirit, the Creature relates that "I often took his tools, the use of which I quickly discovered, and brought home fire sufficient for several days' consumption" (71). Although his first contact with humans is terrible, the Creature's benevolence leads him to help and learn from the De Lacey family. The Creature learns to read, speak and write while living in the hovel attached to the De Lacey house. After many months she decides it's time to meet Mr. De Lacey and try to start a relationship with him. The conversation goes well until Felix, Safie, and Agatha return home and quickly escape, but not before Felix attacks the Creature with a stick. The Creature realizes that he could easily tear Felix to pieces, but refrains and is saddened that the De Laceys would not accept him. Because of his pain, the Creature becomes angry and begins his descent from benevolence. The Creature begins his transition into a f... middle of paper... urn when his creator, Victor Frankenstein, dies. The Creature realizes that Victor is one of his many victims and tells Walton: “my heart was shaped to be susceptible to love and sympathy; and when he was overturned by poverty to vice and hatred, he could not bear the violence of change without torture. . . .” (153). This quote tells how the Creature was loving and innocent, but became evil when he encountered hatred and confirms the statement "I was benevolent and good: misery made me a demon" (62).
