In chapters 11 and 12, we get a sense of who the monster really is. Previously,the monster had been portrayed as scary and monstrous, but these chapters characterize the monster as intelligent. He is some what a human being, portraying Gardener's theory of multiple intelligence along with Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
As the monster explains his voyage through the wilderness to find Victor, his efforts suggest that he understands Gardener's theory of nature. While there, he is able to gather food and understand how fire works. His understanding of fire demonstrates that he has common logic. In result of touching the fire, he learns how situations follow with consequences. Also in the wilderness, he demonstrates geographical knowledge. He learns how to navigate himself through the woods and recognizes different signs of symbolism.
He also explains to Victor the incidents in which he exemplified intra and interpersonal relationships. At the point in which he learns that he needs shelter he then understands Maslow's level of safety. He ultimately finds a shed that neighbors a poor family. Unaware of what he's doing, he begins to steal the family's food and resources. He notices their shifts in mood and is able to understand that they are sad because they are poor and someone keeps stealing their food. So ultimately, the monster stops stealing their food.
"And the raps that I'm rappin to my community shouldn't be filled with rage? They shouldn't be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don't talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there's no one else talking about it." -Tupac Shakur
