This creation is in fact, one of the few characters that has any rational thinking behind his actions. Society has mislabeled this creature as savage, and dumb even though he is actually intelligent, kind, and humane. After being "born" this creation was abandoned and left on his own. He knew nothing and yet in a succinct period of time, he earns how to separate his senses, survive, comprehend the human language, and even formulate his own thoughts and ideas: "I admired virtue and good feelings and loved the gentle manners and amiable qualities of my cottagers, but I was shut out from intercourse with them, except through means which I obtained by stealth, when I was unseen and unknown, and which rather increased than satisfied the desire I had of becoming one among my fellows" (Shelley, 106). As many would argue, if any character should be labeled as the real monster in this novel, the creation should be the last on considered. Yet it is not the fault of the characters who attacked this creature for the indecencies done to it, but rather it is the society as a whole that is a fault. Even when one traverses into the real world, if anyone were to see an 8 foot tall being with decomposing body parts, a first instinct would be to run in the opposite direction. We are all preconditioned to believe such stereotypes that anything against the ordinary should be considered a threat, and that is a concept we must learn to tame.
Brave New World also brings up the issue of who is at fault for the discrepancies many characters must face. Once again, the real monster in this novel is the society in which these people are "born" into. In both the World State and even the Reservation, people are preconditioned to believe in a certain manner. While those who live in the more modernized society believe books, religion, and relationships are out of the question, those on the Reservation believe that self-induced punishments and primitive forms of technology are customary.
