But the monster seems strongly anchored in his determination to give his relationship with humanity another chance. He admires the qualities of human beings, but yet wonders how it is possible that there are so many contradictory attributes brought together in a single human being: "Man, indeed, was at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent, and yet so kinky and basic?” (Shelley 147). Two other unpleasant events shake his belief that he can establish a connection with humanity. When he tries to get in touch with the people who unwillingly formed his adoptive family, he is rejected on the basis of physical appearance. When he offers his unconditional help in saving a young girl from drowning, a villager, frightened by his appearance, shoots him. As a result, he decides to give up any hope of a possible reconciliation with mankind; all he wants from then on is another being like him, but of the opposite sex, to keep him company in a place far from civilization. But the only person who could have made it happen, its creator, Victor Frankenstein, denies even this last wish. The sequence of events he has faced proves too much for the abandoned creature to accept. His kindness and innocence degrade, leaving room only for revenge. His faith is very similar to that of a child abandoned by his parents and left out in the world to face the difficulties of life.
