Frankenstein 7

"Think not, Walton, that in the last moments of my existence I feel that burning hatred, and ardent desire of revenge, I once expressed, but I feel myself justified in desiring the death of my adversary. During these last days I have been occupied on examining my past conduct; nor do I find it blameable." pg 161

Actual human beings can't play the innocent card, Victor. Wanting to kill someone is still expressing hatred. You can't rationalize murder. One would think Victor would've learned that after watching all of his loved ones die. I am beginning to think Victor only told Walton the story so Walton can side with Victor and Victor will feel better about himself. NO matter which way you spin it, murder is murder and it's never right. Moreover, there'd be nothing to murder if Victor would've been a normal college kid and joined a fraternity instead of creating the creature! This is so your fault, man! Sure, you didn't know how awful life would be for the creature, nor did you think it'd become a depressed serial killer, but you didn't have to make it. Also, this could've been avoided if you showed some love. Sad to say, Victor fits the stereotype for a teenage parent perfectly. First, he becomes obsessed with making the child, but when the child comes he runs away. Then the child cries desperately for attention and when it doesn't get any it begins to rebel. Lastly, the parents play the "I have no idea why they're acting like this" card to help them sleep at night, but deep down they know it's their fault. Remember, Victor is only in his early to mid 20's at this point. He's a mere statistic of failed families.
