                <text>. De Lacey's guitar would have been created by hand in the mid to late-18th century, an instrument that signified wealth and education in that era. </text>

                <text>Shelley uses the guitar to indicate M. De Lacey's genteel nature, despite his fall into poverty.  This gentility is mirrored in the treatment the monster receives from De Lacey, as the blind man is the only one to treat the creature with any respect or concern. Listening to the guitar is a significant part of the creature's development of its better nature, and its attraction to the better parts of humanity.</text>
