In chapter 16 we see the creature vow to seek revenge against all of humankind. This stems from Felix's rejection towards his appearance, which drove the creature away at the end of chapter 15. This hatred is aimed mainly towards his creator, Victor Frankenstein. Feeling outcast from all of society, the creature flees for the woods where he reflects and reacts in rage. He observes his setting bitterly, thinking "the cold stars shone in mockery, and the bare trees waved their branches above me; now and then the sweet voice of a bird burst forth amidst the universal stillness." (p.g 125) Having little experience with the human world, his perspective is very small. It seems to the monster that everything and everyone are prejudice towards his exterior.
