The boy, who is Frankenstein's brother William, shrieks that he will send his father, Judge Frankenstein, after him. He travels to Geneva, he meets a young boy and tries to befriend him. Enraged at how the whole of humanity has treated him, the Monster sets fire to the cottage, and swears revenge on Frankenstein for bringing him into a world that hates him. However, the children return and discover him with their father, and drive him from the house. The Monster grows to love the De Laceys during his time as their "neighbor", and decides to reveal himself to the blind father while his grown children are out. Through these, he discovers his origins, and learns that Frankenstein lives in Geneva, Switzerland. The Monster also reads a series of papers he found in his jacket, which turn out to be Frankenstein's notes. His first reading materials are several books that he finds in a castoff suitcase, including the works of Milton, Plutarch, and Goethe. He listens to the inhabitants, the De Lacey family, through a chink in the wall and learns to speak and read from their example. The Monster eventually takes up abode in a small hovel that abuts a cottage. Any humans he comes across are so frightened by his appearance that they run from him, just as Frankenstein had done. He spends a lengthy period of time learning to survive. The Monster takes a jacket to clothe himself, and eventually wanders off into the wild. Frankenstein is so horrified by his creation that he flees the house, leaving the Monster to his own devices. He was created on a rainy November night in the late eighteenth century Ingolstadt, Germany, by the medical student Victor Frankenstein. He is described as having wrinkled skin which barely hid the blood vessels, black lips, black hair, and yellow eyes. The Monster made his first appearance in the 1818 novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.
