Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley — Chapter 12

Hidden beside the cottage, the Creature quietly studies the family within and begins to understand the tenderness, sorrow, and sacrifice that shape their lives. As he secretly eases their burdens and struggles to learn their language, his hope of one day joining them grows stronger.

Yet greater understanding also brings painful self-awareness. A glimpse of his own reflection forces him to confront the gulf between the beauty he admires and the appearance that has already brought him rejection.
