He became a creature from my worst nightmares.
 The moment it was created, the monster attempted to adapt himself into human social patterns. He learnt to speak and read. At one time he managed to rescue a drowning girl and tried hard to befriend with kids but was driven by all who saw him. He desired to be loved and accepted by humankind, but unfortunately he was not accepted because of his horrible appearance.
This feeling of abandonment forced him to seek revenge(报仇) against his creator. As a matter of fact, the monster was a victim of prejudice.(偏见)
 I think he wanted to speak, but I did not hear.
