Quite a Transformation

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, an extremely unexpected twist occurs.  After the death of William and execution of Justine, Victor feels overwhelmed with guilt.  He believes that his monster was the one who caused the deaths, and thus he took full responsibility mentally.  In order to try and find peace, he set out for the mountains, where we was relatively relaxed until he saw a figure sprinting towards him.  It was his creation, who appeared to have developed an incredible amount since being released two years ago.  The monster now has a full understanding and ability to use the English language, and was able to appeal to Victor's reason when Victor tried to attack.  The monster said, "You accuse me of murder, and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature," (Shelley, 69).  Through some circumstance, he has become a highly intelligent and well-read individual, referencing many stories and the Bible as he told his story.  The creature reveals that in his time, he discovered certain concepts, such as heat, night, and rejection from villagers.  He begins to spy on a family once he has found a hovel for himself, and begins to understand language and reading.  The beast considers these people his friends, yet they have never known he existed.  He feels a strong desire to reveal himself to the family, and possibly through the use of language convince them that he is not a monster.
