It's now spring time. The monster notices that the cottagers that he has been observing look unhappy again, especially Felix. He sees a woman wearing a dark dress, named Safie, arrive at the house and asks to see Felix. Felix is very happy to see her. Safie moves into the cottage with the family. The monster continues to watch the family and tries to learn their language, which he is able to quickly get a basic understanding of. After learning their language, he soon learns how to read, as well. He is now able to speak and understand the humans' language perfectly, he learns the way of human society, and he realizes that he is deformed and lonely.
Destiny's Thoughts/Comments
In this chapter, I felt bad for the monster for a few reasons. The first reason is because the monster has no one to interact with, so he is growing so attached to these humans that he has been observing, but never actually met and seems too scared to want to introduce himself. The second reason is because he keeps coming to the realization that he is deformed and lonely and doesn't fit in with society. I would hate life and hate myself if I was completely alone and was always told how ugly I was and people always ran in fear of me. Life would be miserable and I wouldn't know how to handle myself. I can only imagine how the monster feels.
