Frankenstein- 10

"I had formed in my own heart a resolution to pursue my destroyer to death..." pg. 147

I am glad to see that Victor is finally going to stand up to the creature. He has been running away from him helplessly since the day of his creation. I think it's ironic how everything could have been different. If Victor would have just embraced his creation as opposed to fearing it, he would still have all of his family. I think that this novel puts a strong emphasis on the upbringing of children. All children are born innocent, and the events in their life, and people they encounter significantly shape the persona of a person, (or monster in this case). Had Victor taken the time to teach the monster and show companionship, the creature would had remained gentle in nature. But, after learning the emotions of depression and anger, the creature began to envy human relationships. I think that people can learn a great deal from this novel, in the importance of love and relationships, and the ultimately negative effect solitude will inevitably produce.
