- When an Arabian women named Safie arrives at the cottage, the monster realizes that the people become happier. Through the families introduction to Safie the monster understands the people have names. Safie does not speak their language so Felix, the man, decides to teach her. As Safie learns, so does the monster. The monster also learns from Felix's teachings that the human race can be noble and godlike however can also be evil.
- As the monster understands that the human race can be evil through their knowledge leaves him angry and rejected. However as the monster is learning, Shelley shows that without the monster knowing, he is also gaining knowledge meaning that one day he will become 'evil' like all the other people who had become evil through knowledge.
Through Felix's teaching to Safie, the monster learns about the world and how society works. The monster feels that it has no place in society as it is a monster. It feels doomed that it may become the reject from society. It wishes it had never learnt about society making it miserable.
Because the monster has learnt he has no place in society, it feels rejected and doomed helping it realize how humans can be so selfish and shallow. It also realizes it's fate in society and that because he is a monster, he will be outcasted from the world.
