A Significant Passage in Frankenstein

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein's monster surprised me as he turned out to be a intellectual and emotional being. Although I did not think that killing Victor's youngest brother was an acceptable revenge for being alone in the world, I did sympathize for the monster's feelings of loneliness. When the monster is telling Victor about the family he was observing, he mentions when he went into the home and was talking to the blind old man, De Lacy. This moment in the book really stood out to me, because it really showed that without the monster's horrible looks, one would think that he is a friendly and affection being. Once the other residents walked into the door, they all were so surprised and scared that this     monster was in their home. I think this passage truly shows one of Shelley's messages in the novel, that you should not judge a person/being on appearance, but rather on one's character.
