In Scene 6, Mr. De Lacey says, “Most people are friendly—unless they are blinded by prejudice.” What kind of prejudice do people have against the creature? (key ideas)

People think that the creature was harmful because it looked horrible. This is a common opinion or judgement of people when it comes to monsters.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the drama about "Frankenstein."

"Mr. De Lacey" is one of the characters in the story. He's a blind peasant who lives in a cottage with his family. When the creature was abandoned by Victor, he wandered into the woods and came into the cottage of Mr. De Lacey. The creature learned to speak after several months, just by watching Mr. De Lacey's family talk to each other. He grew fond of them over time.

In Scene 6, the creature started to have the courage to knock on the peasant's door when his family was not around. He was invited by Mr. De Lacey to come in (since he couldn't see him).

"Prejudice" refers to an opinion about a person without any justifiable reason. People judged the creature as a "monster" who does bad things because of the way he looked. This is the prejudice that people have on the creature in the story.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
