-Victor DOES NOT want to allow the male and female monsters to procreate.
-Victor is just so much about himself! He doesn't take the time to look around and see how he is affecting others. This bothers me about him.

The monster could kill Victor at any moment. He is strong and could kill anything he wanted. Why doesn't he kill Victor?
BUT what if Victor and the monster are the same person?!?!?!?!? No one ever "sees" the monster... perchance Victor is simply hallucinating. Victor in the alter-ego.

So, if Victor and monster are the same person, why does Victor want to kill his loved ones?

THE WORD "WRETCH"
I find it interesting that Victor, of course, calls his monster a "wretch," but the monster also uses that word to describe Victor. It is kind of interchangeable between the two of them. I think it must go back to what we were talking about last class and how what the parent states reflects upon the child. Victor also calls himself a wretch... which shows some similarity between the two of them.

MASTER/SLAVE RELATIONSHIP: HAGEL
Look at the dependencies between Victor and the monster. The monster starts using the word "wretch" to describe Victor. It becomes a mirror between the two. "Slave looks in the mirror and sees a wretch, his monster."

That's interesting. Circling words and noting the words an author uses often.

IS THERE SOME REASON WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO BE ALONE IN THE WORLD?
-Part of Victor's worry that someone will hurt him

Neglecting family. Heroism. Sci-Fi.
