Foreshadowing

"but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding-night" (123).

The above quote provides some foreshadowing as to who the creature's next target is. Somehow the creature has discovered Victor's intentions of marrying Elizabeth and he therefore plans to kill Elizabeth. I felt sympathetic toward the creature earlier in the novel, but at this point I find it unnecessary for him to keep killing off all of Victor's friends. I feel like both Victor and the creature are at fault. Victor is responsible for the way that the creature acts because he simply failed to care for the creature and satisfy its needs-This led the creature to betray him and seek vengeance upon him. However, the creature is also at fault. He destroyed Victor's life basically. All that Victor once had- a loving father, wife, little brother, happiness, and sane thoughts, were ruined by the existence of the creature. The creature knows what it's like to feel rejected and sad, yet he feels the need to inflict such feelings on his own creator. It's a vicious cycle. Since the creature destroyed Victor's life he felt it necessary to warn Walton against the dangers of pursuing knowledge. He doesn't want any other human to go through what happened to him. The creature was unstoppable and this novel serves as a cautionary tale: Don't create life out of inanimate matter because it will do more harm than good.
