As his parents are talking, you can clearly see Charlie through the window in the distance. Wells combines the lighting, composition, and correct lens to get the effect he is looking for. A high angle shot or overhead shot was used throughout the movie in many different scenes. For example, when his wife was singing on stage or the closing scene when Kane is dead and they are deciding what to do with all of his possessions, the camera angle is at a crane shot looking down.

In volume 2, the creature shows how he wants to be with a group of people who would care for him when he encounters the De Lacey’s after living near them for a time. The creature spends the entire winter watching the cottagers, and grows to love each of them passionately, attempting to learn their language, which he regards as ‘a godlike science’. He ‘longed to join them but dared not’, fearing that they would be as superficial as all humans and judge him on his looks. Hetherington shows that having read Paradise Lost in her novel, the creature likens himself to the loneliness of Adam and Eve after their banishment from Eden. However, the creature is even more alone and abandoned than these creatures and never committed any wrongdoing in his life.
