Blog assignment #2 - character, scene, incident, or brief passage from Frankenstein that stands out

The monster that Victor Frankenstein creates sticks out to me, particularly the chapters in which the monster tells his story to his creator.  Upon creation, the monster was like an infant; he did not know how to communicate or what his purpose was.  His story is fascinating in how he had to learn everything on his own.  He learned to collect food, use fire for warmth, and learned to speak by secretly listening to the De Lacey family.  His story is also filled with misery; on first sight, everybody he comes across is frightened; he was shot by a man after attempting to rescue a young girl; the De Lacey family - his only "friends" - rejected him.  At the end of the monster's story, I thought about what his situation would have been like if Victor had taken on the fatherly figure for him.  If Victor did not react how he originally did towards the monster, would there have been so much misery in both their lives?  The monster's story sticks out to me the most because of the idea that things could have turned out so differently if Victor had reacted to his creation in a different manner.
