"I hardly placed my foot within the door before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted. The whole village was roused; some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons." (page 74)
This quote demonstrates the external conflict between the creature and society. He clearly does not fit in with society because of his large stature. He also lacked communication skills because he was left to figure everything out himself. Basically I picture him as a ver large baby because of his lack of intelligence for the beginning of his life. He does not fit into society because he is not like everyone else. The conflict between society and this new, large being is evident because he is feared and not excepted. The purpose of the conflict is to further exaggerate the horror and distaste that Victor has towards the creature. It shows that the creature really isn't human like and it implies that he does not fit in society and is unable to function in cohesion with society. The external conflict between the creature and society is effective because it shows that the creature does not get along well with the current society. It supports Victor's fear of the horrible potential of the monster he created.
