Victor’s creation tells him, “you must create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being.” Victor begins creating it then, “the wretch saw me destroy the creature on whose future existence he depended for happiness.” The monster just wanted someone to be with, since Victor paid no attention towards him. No one should ever be left alone in a world or in their fight. The monster just wanted to be happy with someone and have someone look past his appearance since he was ugly. Victor made a promise to him to create him a female mate, and ended up breaking his promise. Promise is a big word, and you either keep it which makes everything, or don’t and it breaks everything. Victor should understand he made the creation and it isn’t the monsters fault. The monster is apart of his life and shouldn’t be abandon. After his creation comes to life by “infusing a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet,” he refuses to accept his obligation as being the creator of it. He does not shelter it, care for it, provide it with love or food, or teaches the creation right from wrong. At the end, all the creation wanted was a companion, but Victor refuses and leaves him alone. Victor then flees, hoping to forget about his creation, and tries to live a normal life. Yet, his creation is in abandonment and he “vows for revenge.” Overall, Victor was cruel to something he made with his hands, and blamed his creation for everything when nothing was his fault. He ran away from his creation because it didn’t resemble what he thought it would
