** Quote that sums up chapter: **

"Emotions have taught mankind to reason." Marquis De Vauvenargues

** Synopsis of Events: ** The creature is very sympathetic and compassionate with the family. He notices when the inhabitants of the cabin are sad and when they are happy.The creature has taught himself the language of the land. ** Allusions: **

One of the allusions in the chapter is the one of the lapdog and the. The lapdog is favored and loved by his master while the is neglected. The ties to mimic the lapdog's behavior so that he will be loved but the master punishes the for wanting to be like the lapdog. This is an allusion from the story (Shelley 207). I have no idea what this is referring to. Please clarify. ** Motifs/Symbols: ** Why is your font crazy big? ** In a way, the creature is like a Christ figure. The creature is invisible to the family in the cottage, but he cleared away the snow for them, drew water from the well, and carried the wood to the house. He is referred to as the, "invisible hand." The creature cares for the family and is sympathetic to their feelings just as Christ cares about his creation. ** ** Themes: **

** Emotions are a central part of human experience. The creature is experiencing all of these feelings for the first time but he does not know what to do with them because of his lack of contact with humans. Acceptance is vital to human life. The creature wants to be accepted just like every human does. Learning by mimicking. ** ** Character Development: ** ** The creature develops in many different ways in this chapter. He learns that he has feelings and he works hard to learn the language. The creature starts to pursue learning and he wants to be like the inhabitants of the cabin. He displays his compassion by helping the cottagers in replenishing their store. ** ** Significant Quotes and Explanations: **

** "I imagined that they would be disgusted, until, by my gentle demeanor and conciliating words, I should first win their favor, and afterwards their love." ** ** - The creature is very hopeful that despite his outward appearance, the humans would be able to look past it and accept him for his kind heart and loving nature. **

** "My thoughts now became more active, and I longed to discover he motives and feelings of these lovely creatures; I was inquisitive to know why Felix appeared so miserable and Agatha so sad. I thought (foolish wretch!) that it might be in my power to restore happiness to these deserving people." ** ** - The creature wants to help the family in the cottage. He thinks that they work really hard and he thinks that they deserve to be happy. He hopes that by helping them with things, he will be able to bring them happiness. The creature is eager to learn more about the humans and the ways they live their lives. The creature's eagerness to learn, makes him human to us because of his desire to mimic the humans. ** Art Gallery:
