    I wondered why Victor didn’t create the monster a female figure monster for him because the monster was so lonely, even though he caused havoc, maybe a girl figure would calm him or occupy him.

Also he wouldn’t take the risk of not knowing if the female monster would calm down the original one. I observed that the…
