The creature is wrong of course when it comes to them accepting him, however, as his appearance is too frightening for anyone, even people he loved from afar to overlook when found near someone or something valuable to them.

The deviation of family traditions, or in the novel, a lack of parental background may negatively affect the child. Victor’s continuous rejection of the monster fuelled its rage and conquest to rid Frankenstein’s life of all happiness. As a “child” to Frankenstein, the monster’s reaction to being rejected permanently scars him, forever being the testament to his existence.
