An example of a villain is the Grinch; a bitter, cave-dwelling creature with a heart "two sizes too small" from “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” Living in spiteful seclusion for most of his life, the Grinch has always hated the citizens of Whoville and Christmas since he was an eight year old boy. The reason why the Grinch despises Christmas is because he was constantly being bullied at school by his class mates because near Christmas day he decided to shave off his beard and they all made fun of him. So the Grinch left his home and decided to live on top of Mount Crumpit a snowy mountain that looks down on Whoville. He is the only one in all of Whoville that hates Christmas so occasionally he will pull dangerous mean jokes on all the Who’s.

Dallas, 1951–1966 After a year in Santo, Speck moved with his mother, his stepfather, and his sister Carolyn to the East Dallas section of Dallas, Texas, living at ten addresses in poor neighborhoods over the next dozen years. Speck loathed his often drunk and frequently absent stepfather, who psychologically abused him with insults and threats. [2] Speck, a poor student who needed glasses for reading but refused to wear them, struggled through Dallas public schools from fourth through eighth grade, repeating eighth grade at J. L. Long Jr. High School, in part because he refused to recite in class because of a lifelong fear of people staring at him. [2][3] In autumn 1957, Speck started ninth grade at Crozier Technical High School, but failed every subject and did not return for the second semester in January 1958, dropping out just after his 16th birthday. Speck had begun drinking alcohol at age 12 and by age 15, was getting drunk almost every day.

(Shelley 60) From his reaction to his brother’s death, he felt regret for not spending more time with his brother or family. Because of his quest for knowledge, he left home and isolated himself in his lab, ignoring everything else that is happening outside the world. Another example is about the monster in the book, the creation of Victor Frankenstein, he was isolated by people because of his “unique appearance”, when his neighbour saw how he look like, they use sticks to beat him, in the beginning, the monster want to attack them back, but when he remembered the old man, he ran away and leave the house and find a place to sit down.
