[Frankenstein] Couldn't the monster have just worn a mask?

I'm talking the original novel version here, the superhuman, highly intelligent one. Was there something disturbing about its entire body, or just its face? 

Even if its entire body looked *off* and uncanney valley-ish, a full body suit/cloak and a mask should surely still work, and avoid the whole "everybody gets instantly revolted just by looking at him issue."

He could claim he was born with a facial deformity, or was badly injured, explaining the desire to cover most of himself up. As long as nobody saw that he was *definitely* not human, he should have had at least a chance at interacting with people.

IIRC his skin was translucent yellow and he was unnaturally large. He was very obviously not normal even if he were to wear a mask and people would treat him differently just for his general abnormality alone. This was the 19th Century, too: people with physical deformities weren't treated the same as normal people then. Just look at the story of the Elephant Man. If he claimed something like that then people would just try to send him off to a freakshow.
