Coming in from the Cold

For once, this one isn't at all inspired by a song *gasp* (Amazing isn't it?), and considering that almost my entire life has had a internal soundtrack, it is fairly odd.  But, something else that has been a constant is books, and today A Tattered Page opens up at noon, and my personal blog reflects this.

Frankenstein has a lot of themes running through it.  I'm not joking, it does.  One of these is a desire of all things to belong, to not be left on the fringes of society.  And at some point the monster [who never does seem to have any name at all, contrary to pop culture], does some very fae type things for the people he is living near; providing extra firewood and such in the night.

 And this got me to thinking; do the stories about the capricious behavior of the fae come from a desire to come in from the cold as well?  And feeling there is no place for them around our hearthfires, lead to them doing horrible things?
 I'm not going to give away spoilers, if one could really give away spoilers on a book that has been out for just shy of 200 years [4 more years].  But I think if you read the book for yourself, you might see where I'm drawing the comparisons.  I think most folks, when left too long out in the cold, will lash out when kind deeds do not work.
This fae though?  This is her hearth, so no one is going to deny her the warmth of the fires.
