John’s entire life has been spent in solitude reading Shakespeare. Suddenly immersed in a society in which his behavior is completely taboo, John finds himself even further separated from the community than he was on the reservation. Bernard observes that John may never be able to completely assimilate into this environment, “partly on his interest, being focused on what he calls ‘the soul’ which he persists in regarding as an entity independent of the physical environment” (158).
Because this isn’t a fairy tale, and there is no actual ‘adventure’ taking place, this can be viewed as the protagonist refusing to take on the quest he is being presented. Realizing this allows the reader to understand that the story is then moving on to the second stage – the struggle, or initiation. Usually during the struggle/initiation of a monomyth archetype structure in a story, the hero figure being presented is exploring their unconscious self, and realizing their deepest fears and concerns.

The creature lies at the center of the action as he is rejected by his creator, society and living a lonely life. The creature is first perceived as the sympathetic character when his own creator, Victor, abandons and rejects him. When Victor sees his creation, he coils shamelessly in horror because of his repulsive figure that even, “a mummy again endured with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch” (Shelley 49).
