Victor and the creature are seen as murderers and harmful towards people based on looks and are mistreated by people. Victor is accused of murder after arriving in Ireland on a boat, and facing harsh treatment from strangers. “I was exceedingly surprised on receiving such rude an answer from a stranger; and I was also disconcerted on perceiving the frowning and angry countenances of his companions. “‘Why do you answer me so roughly?’" I replied: “‘ Surely it is not the custom of Englishmen to receive strangers so inhospitably.’” "’ I do not know,’" said the man, "’ what the custom of the English may be; but it is the custom of the Irish to hate villains’" (Shelley 167).
