creation as a theme...

"My mother had much desire to have a daughter, but I continued their single offspring." p. 16

one of the themes my group has is "creation". this includes invention, procreation, you name it.
my group discussed this rather at length today in class. I still can't decide if Victor's mother didn't have other children due to lack of ability or lack of effort. she does have two children later on in life. two sons when all she wanted was a daughter. but she already had a daughter. an "adopted" daughter. who really was only adopted to serve as a future spouse for Victor? there's something really weird about the way that went down, I think.

but anyway, I think that regardless of the circumstances preventing Victor's mother from procreating, the book still deals heavily in other ways with other creations... duh.
