"...when they were unhappy, I felt depressed; when they rejoined, I sympathized in their joys." (79)
The creature was "born" with a fully formed brain. This brain already went through the developmental processes. At death the brain might have become inactive, but the capacity to learn was still there. Naturally, genetically, the creature had advanced reasoning skill of a full grown adult even though he was still an infant. Also, his nature when he was born was to be loving and compassionate. He was formed of human part, and must have inherited human compassion. However, her receive no nurture from his creator and ridicule from who ever saw his face. These experiences lead him to become depressed and mad at the world for not wanting him. Yet he still had the compassion, like when he cared for the family he knew would probably never love him.
