"I imagined that they would be disgusted, until, by my gentle demeanor and conciliating words, I should first win their favor, and afterwards their love." (pg. 81)
This is what the creature's plan was to become a part of the family that he observed. I predict that reality comes nothing close to this. Based on past experience, the creature will probably terrify the family. He has already noted that he himself was terrified upon seeing his image. The creature hopes to be integrated into the family that he has been observing. Chances are that they will run away in fear like everyone else has. Even if they do get to the point of communicating, if the creature tells them that he was spying on them for months, I don't think they will accept that lightly. The only redeeming hope he has if he tells them that he was the one chopping wood and shoveling snow. However, based on the creature's conversation with Frankenstein, it seems that things did not go according to plan.
