Stupid, Freak, Creep, Weirdo, Filthy Clone, Bad Animal. If you know it or not many of these words definitely affect a person and when someone is emotionally and verbally attacked they become very scared of the outside world and tries to stop interacting socially and with the world. Matteo Alacran was isolated within a house and then within a cell filled with saw dust, because of those reasons his social interactions were very awkward, and he did not get to develop his communicative skills. He does not know very much about the outside world other than animals and bugs that he brings into his cell when he buries food, meat, and bones to rot. While he is imprisoned he becomes much of a naturalist. During the ages of 0-6, he is a naive kid, and because of all the isolation and cruelty, he becomes very quiet and very scared of anything new. He is mentally and emotionally scarred, and this will affect him through his personal characteristics as he is going through his youth. While he is imprisoned, he is very kind, but soon he becomes ill-tempered and can sometimes be quite rude. Throughout his childhood he is cruelly treated and that really affects his personality as a growing individual. Originally when he was kept inside the house, he was very eager and curious about the outside world and other humans. But all of that changed when he was singled out as a clone and was mistreated, so this curiosity soon turned into fear. Matteo Alacrán continued to receive cruel treatment throughout his childhood and this deeply affects his personality and growth as an individual throughout the story.
