As Victor Frankenstein eloquently says, “Three years before, I was engaged in the same manner and had created a fiend whose unparalleled barbarity had desolated my heart and filled it forever with the bitterest remorse”(Shelley 150). When Victor first created the monster he didn’t really foresaw that the consequences would harm not only himself, but others as well.
