Both Steinbeck and Shelley Create Characters who Are Alienated from Society

In both "Frankenstein" and "Of Mice and Men", there have been characters created who have been alienated from society.
We can compare the characters of the creature and Lennie; they are described as or given the image of their child like behaviour and thoughts, "His jaws opened, and he muttered some inarticulate sounds while a grin wrinkled his cheeks". This made the creature seem like a baby. This was in the part of the novel where the creature was created. Mary Shelley makes the creature seem like a baby and makes it so the creature sees Victor as a father to amplify the creature's feelings when he is rejected by Victor. "Blubberin' like a baby! Jesus Christ! A big guy like you." This shows Lennie's child like side. I think Steinbeck made Lennie more child like because it creates more sympathy for Lennie when George gets angry at him and when Curly hits him.
