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.
