"You and your family are the friends whom I seek. Do not you desert me in the hour of trial!" (pg. 96)
The creature's hope to be loved is based on the De Lacy family. However, the family rejects him once they seen him. At this moment, the creature experiences the true feeling of alienation. He has been observing this family for months now. He has even taken to calling them his protectors. He has set all of his hopes for a future on this family. When they reject him, he is utterly alone. Because of this and other such rejections, he takes his feelings out on others. In a way, this story speaks about how rejection and loneliness can lead people to do things that would naturally out of their character.
