Frankenstein Opposing Laws of Intelligence and Hierarchy

In comparison to the theory of Multiple Intelligence and Maslow's Hierarchy, the monster's development development doesn't follow or go hand and hand. While there is no doubt that the monster has acquired certain intelligences on his own, the monster still is lacking that human interaction, suggested in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, suggesting that there are gaps in the monster's development.
In a typical child's development program, the child is allowed to interact with others like adults and peers, making learning a lot easier, but the monster understands that to survive he has to do it on his own because of his appearance which elevates the monsters development. When a baby is born that have to be held and loved to survive and thrive. The monster in some cases is like a baby, but doesn't have that strong support system suggesting that Maslow's Hierarchy would deem the monster to death, but this actually made the monster thrive even harder to get revenge.
Although the reader understands that the monster's intelligence surpasses any typical human or child that is relatively the same age, Maslow's Hierarchy negates this. The monster starts to wonder why he was created if no one cares or wants to get to know him. On a personal stance, the monster's development is one that should be commended because he did it on his own demonstrating that the theories presented are flawed.
