Hearing her voice made him somewhat bashful, which is why he concealed himself. He also exhibited a heroic trait by attempting to rescue the girl when she fell into the brook, showing his humanity, as he experienced empathy towards her.

In "Paragraphs 25-32," the monster's inquisitive nature reappears. This time, his focus shifts to the little boy, who is the sibling of "Victor Frankenstein." During this encounter, the monster is filled with sorrow and exhaustion. Upon catching sight of the boy, his instincts as a monster take over. Even though he desired the boy's friendship, the child labeled him an "Ugly wretch." This enraged him, resulting in the boy's death.
