Progression of the Fiend

At first we see him as a very baby like creature.  He starts off having really no moral compass to guide his actions off of at first.  However, the experiences with the Delaceys and the experiences soon after came to define the nature of the beast.  We often experience emotions filled with compassion for the creature for the terrible situations that he had to endure.  The awful weather, the treatment he receives, the fight that he has within himself all contribute to who the creature became.   We saw at first that the creature was heartfelt experiences with the family.  The creature even cries at one point because of the beautiful guitar being played. "...drew tears of sorrow and delight from my eyes"(Shelley,83).  However, mixed with that experience is the experience that he had in the town prior to taking refuge in the woods.  For no apparent reason aside from his appearance  he was viciously attacked.  I believe that it is safe to say that the Creature is a product of the treatment that he received from other individuals.
