Anecdote

"No: from that moment I declared ever-lasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me, and sent me forth to this insupportable misery."

While the creature is speaking to Victor, he tells an anecdote that explains why he hates humans. When he decided to present himself to the family, he did not get his desired result. Felix started to beat the crud out of him and he left. Although he could have easily retaliated and killed Felix, he chose not to. Every experience he has had with humans has been terrible. He says in this excerpt that he has declared war against Victor. From this, we can see that he blames his miserable life on his creator, and he seeks revenge. It is for this reason that he decides to make Victor's life as miserable as possible without actually physically harming him.
