"My reveng is of no moment to you; yet, while I allow it to be a vice, I convess that it is the devouring and only passion of my soul." p. 148
the one theme that my group has and I struggled with really finding concrete examples for was depravity/sinfulness. now that I've finished I've found all kinds of examples. yay me! first, Victor even admits that his relentless desire to kill his creation is a sin. also, he kills himself. I think that creating the creature was also a playing-God sort of action and probably sinful. also, I'm pretty sure his lack of vocality when Justine was wrongfully accused was wrong of him. obviously, Victor isn't the only one. The creation essentially goes on a murder spree there at the end. not good. I think that the creation's blackmail of Victor (make me a woman, I won't kill your loved ones) was wrong as well. so there we have it. the other two weren't too hard to find examples for, although I'm kinda bummed that Victor never created a new creature. I sorta wanted to meet her.
