The story told by a "Monster" about his "friendly cottagers" reveals that the creature was seeking meaningful relationships even since it first learned to discernment all five sences. This isn't only a proof that Victor's 'Monster' was kind deep in heart, but can even be a great model of how we grow and newborn develops.
