On his search for food in the woods, the monster comes across an old satchel with clothes and books inside. He brings the books back to read so he can try to learn more about the world. He reads the book Paradise Lost and realizes that it somewhat relates to his current situation. He reaches in his pocket and finds a note that was written by Victor and it was about Victor's disgust of his creation. The monster now decides that he want to reveal himself to the cottagers, hoping that they will disregard his ugliness and befriend him. Felix, Agatha, and Safie leave so he decides to introduce himself to the old man first. But the other three soon return and Felix scares the monster off.

Brevin's Commentary:
I really can't relate to this chapter, but I try to understand how the monster would feel. I can't imagine making a friend, then having his friends come over and chase me away based solely on my appearance. As I read more and more of this book, I begin to believe that Frankenstein's monster really isn't the monster, but rather Frankenstein himself is. The creature can't help that he was made the way he was, but Victor can help the fact that he neglected his experiment and left him alone to learn the ways of the world.
