(P. 144) “She might become ten thousand times more malignant than her mate, and delight, for its own sake, in murder and wretchedness.” “He had sworn to quit the neighborhood of man and hide himself in deserts; but she had not; and she, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation.” “They might even hate each other; the creature who already lived, loathed his own deformity; and might he not conceive a greater abhorrence for it when it came before his eyes in the female form?” “She also might turn with disgust from him to the superior beauty of man; she might quit him, and he be again alone, exasperated by the fresh provocation of being deserted by one of his own species.” “…yet one of the first results of those sympathies for which the demon thirsted would be children, and a race of devils would be propagated upon the earth, who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror.” © AP Lit & More: Literature & Writing Resources, 2019 VICTOR’S DECISION “I had resolved in my own mind that to create another like the fiend I had first made would be an act of the basest and most atrocious selfishness.” P.149 As discussed in the last section, this decision brings the reader a sense of relief and even catharsis, since Victor has ultimately made a decision.
