In the poem "Frankenstein," by Edward Field, the speaker does not support the villagers' view that the monster is evil and dangerous. In fact, he describes Frankenstein as a tormented creature with a tender heart who has escaped from the cruelty of the Baron, his creator.
When he visits the old man, the narrator expresses he has "no instincts to harm" him, so they share a meal and the host makes him eat, drink, smoke a cigarrete and listen to music. All that makes the monster smile for the first time, although he cries in terror when he remembers the tortures of the villagers, who do not like him because he is ugly and makes unpleasant noises.
