Frankenstein / Mary Shelly / Ch. 19-21



“You are my creator, but I am your master;-obey!” (Shelly 122). The creature loses all his patience and starts to threaten Victor almost immediately.  Frankenstein fails at life.  He had not thought of the impact of his actions until it was to late once again.  He did not think of the real consequences of creating another monster.  He also does not plan fare enough ahead to what would happen if he destroyed his work. If Victor could have planed on not creating the new creature in the beginning he could have waited for the creature to arrive to check his progress then shot him.  The two creation scenes are very similar with Victor hiding after his act and the creature coming for him on in a clearly menacing way and the other in an apparently menacing way.  Victor is revolted by his scientific instruments both times as well.  The two trials are equally similar but completely flipped.  In the first an innocent person is convicted and killed and in the second a guilty person is brought to trial and let loose.
