It is imperative for Victor to know how he has led to the demise of his creature. The creature tells his story explaining how he came to be aware of his senses and the people around him. He had the need o belong. He witnessed a comfortable and desirable sight when he witnessed the old man and girl in the cottage. He felt joy at watching them. The creature is disclosing that in truth he is not a monster. The creature has finally showed himself to the blind man asking him for help and acceptance but when his family came home they were appalled.
