Foreshadowing

"Alas! I did not yet entirely know the fatal effects of this miserable deformity" (80). Victor
"If you comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends" (68). Creature

These two quotes provide some foreshadowing as to what may happen later in the story. The creature demanded that Victor listen to his story; if Victor refused he threatened to kill his remaining friends. Creepy. To me, this line from page 68 is implying that the creature has already killed one of his friends. I think that this qualifies as evidence for his murder of William's brother. We talked about this in class and it does raise the question, 'How does the creature know who Victor's friends are?' The creature must have somehow been stalking Victor's life at some point to know this kind of information, unless it's just an empty threat. Victor also provides a look into what may occur later in the plot by saying there is more to come that the monster has done. Though we found reasons as to why the creature can be seen as good-natured and caring, this quote by Victor steers the audience to believe the creature is not innately good-natured. This means that more murdering and evil acts from the creature may soon occur.
