The DeLacey family played an important role in the creature’s development. It is amazing how Shelley includes this in the novel. It somehow reminds me of how a baby learns. He sits there day and night just learning from these people and learning the different gestures that accompany the sounds and tones coming out of there mouth. It is a part of the novel where the creature actually shows feelings towards someone. The acts of kindness actually moved the creature. Even though he felt he could do a good deed by cutting wood for them to save them the trouble and saw them as noble people he was disappointed when he actually showed his face and was rejected and beaten. I think this made him even more enraged towards Victor and so he would seek revenge. He was filled with so much hatred after this incident I believe this is what pushed him over the edge to set out for his creator. http://www.rc.umd.edu/editions/frankenstein/Chars/delacey.html
