What Does Looks Have to do with it?

When one considers their actions how does one justifies themselves. Do we see people for who they are? Focusing only on their outer appearance? Or do we learn about each person, judging them on merit and values instead. Why does society cast aside what they fear? This is what happens to the "Wretch" in the story Frankenstein. Despite the fact that he is capable of learning , of having feelings, real thoughts and ideas. He is a creation made by society, through the use of knowledge. Why does society hate, and loath him based only on his looks? Should one not judge him by his internal attributes? When the poor Wretch finally decides to show himself to a family he had been admiring he is cast aside. Imaging how one feels after having this said to them: "Great God!...Who are you?". (91 Shelley) Worse yet, imagine how you would feel if people faint upon seeing you. If one is treated this way, they would have horrible about themselves. How monstrous must one be to be treated this way.Worse yet when you are surrounded by people who have one thing in common, a mate. The Wretch wants one of these, so he confronts his creator, and demands a mate. Victor, his creator, refuses at first but then relents and agrees to undertake the task of creating the Wretch a mate. The Wretch presents a very compelling argument; "Shall each man..find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone?" (116 Shelley) I think Victor was moved to pity and that is why he agrees. However he late changes his mind and destroys the project he was working on, causing horrible wrath upon himself , from the Wretch.
