chapter 21-23

To add more pain to Victor, the monster takes his wife on their day of marriage. He feels so guilty that he tells his father what has happened. When he doesn't believe him, he vows to spend the rest of his life to destroying it.

chapters 17- 20

This starts off with the monster wanting a female companion, letting us see he just wants to have someone the same as him and he is tried of being alone. Victor promises, but later sees this could have more negatives than positives. What if they want to reproduce? What if they become seen by other people? So Victor destroys all his work and the monster vows he will pay. When he arrives back to his room from being alone, again, on the boat, he is suspected of the murder of Henry. These chapters make us see more alone time for Victor. He has spent nearly all of his time after seeing the monster alone. This could mean that he is missing his mother because he has become aware of it again by seeing the monster, he is feeling regret for making Justine die for his mistake, or he is reminded of the horrible creature he brought into the world. He won't even marry Elizabeth until this is over, saying he won't even give in for love.

chapters 14-16

The monster is constantly learning new things from the family he is eavesdropping on. He is learning about the history of their family more in depth now. After he finds the book, Paradise Lost, I think the monster is thinking that most of the world is going through what he is, thinking everyone is alone and unwanted. When he finds Victors notes it really hits him he was a mistake and disgusting. After the rejection by two people, the family and the drowning girl, the monster turns against humans and ends up strangling William, Victors brother. We can see that he has a lot of rage toward his creator, and does not feel any remorse for his killing.
