Why is the Monster Accepted by the Grandfather?
When the monster goes into the little cottage of which he has been stalking he has his first positive and successful encounter with a human being, a generous grandfather. It was amazing how well the monster was treated with this Grandfather, and unfortunately it was not because the grandfather did not care for prejudices and gave the monster a chance, but it was because the man was blind and had no idea the monster was such a monster! For all he knew the monster was a nice traveler who was just in need of a rest. By not seeing the terribly distractions and ugly image of the monster, the Grandfather had no reason to be cruel to the monster, and for once treated him like a normal person. This was so amazing for the monster, and showed how, without the unbearably strong force of looks and prejudices, the monster is a truly normal and respectable person who should too be loved.
