Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory that states that it describes the stages of internal growth and development in humans; the theory states that physical and basic needs must be met before emotional and psychological needs can be properly addressed. A perfect example of this theory is when Frankenstein's monster finds refuge in the hovel next to a cottage; by finding shelter and food, he satisfies his most basic needs and is able to become aware of his deeper needs for emotion and human connection. This pivotal moment brings to our attention the humanity of the monster and the duality of this story, which can be understood through analysis of the language, comparisons made, and greater application of this topic. It is in this moment that we first see the monster as a human being, not a creation lurking in the shadows and undergrowth. The language used in this passage evokes empathy and sadness for the monster in the reader. For most of the story, it is passed on to us in the form of a second-hand event told by Victor, through letters to Walton, and passed on to us that way. This seems to create a stronger bond with the monster. At this stage, the monster seems to be as amazed as a child, and does not understand why everyone was so terrified of him, or why Victor was disgusted by him. He hides in a shack and steals food, satisfying his most basic needs. He is therefore able to better understand emotions; after he is no longer hungry and cold, he is able to focus on how the people in the cottage seem to communicate and are sad. He begins to learn their language, and after understanding their poverty, he sees that it is his fault and is able to correct it. The increasing complexity of the language shows the monster's ... paper medium ... of brotherly love and charity ... [It] will afford him the true pleasure of being in some way useful to a human creature." This is the single act of kindness, an act of true selflessness towards the monster in a sea of ​​desperation. As stated before, the juxtaposition of this moment of hope with the rejection of the three virtuous boys and Victor pushes the creature over the edge.Mary Shelly brings to life human struggle, complex social satire and commentary in the form of her creation patchwork of language, diction and metaphors She portrays to the reader her creation's struggles in the face of adversity the use of a story within the story; Victor's letter to Walton, the monster's account of his moment of epiphany and downfall, and even Safi's story, told through letters that the monster found and told to Victor who wrote about it and sent it to Walton;.
