Chapter 11

- Chapter 11 is the start of the monster telling its story to Victor.

- The monster talks about how it was abandoned by Victor and how it ran from Victor's apartment. The monster describes how it felt hunger and discovering new things such as light and darkness, the coldness and fire with it's abilities to both cook and burn.

Shelley describes the development of the monster as almost human-like, with it learning about the basics of life including day and night, the weather and fire. The way Shelley talks about how the monster was intrigued from the fire almost reminds the reader of prehistoric times, showing the reader that the monster is developing into a human. 

Wherever the monster goes it finds out that other humans are shocked and appalled by it's deformity and inhuman-like appearance, therefore causing the monster to be abused by local people. The monster decides it cannot be seen in public and therefore decides to take shelter besides a cottage which housed a man, a women and an elderly man. The monster decides to observe the people to find out more.

The monster shows that he is judged by his appearance and not his personality which confuses him and also results in him becoming scared of humans therefore making him take shelter for his own safety. The monster decides to watch over the family to help with its development, it allows him to understand how people function and how the show affection to one another.
