Frankenstein #7

In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, a reoccurring event has a large impact on Victor. Every time that a court case is discussed as a judgement, Victor is brought into a scenario where he must face his ultimate consequences. The first judgement creates within Victor a sense of disbelief for what he had inevitably done. The second judgement created intense turmoil not only in Victors life, but also in his mind. The paranoia created by the author through the perspective of Victors thought process is extremely important to begin the understanding of Victors one-track mind. This paranoia is very adequately developed by the diction that the author provides. Because we have insight into what Victor is thinking and how his thought process is developed, we better understand how much Victor only think about the creature. This notion of the creature is mainly that the creature will be going after himself. The concentration of worrying about his own safety results in yet another death that Victor must claim responsibility for yet again. This time it's not just someone that he loves, but his wife. Finally we are able to connect the story line altogether and see how Victor ends up chasing the monster. This endless ordeal helps Victor find his end just as he rightfully deserves. "...but I feel myself justified in desiring the death of my adversary,"(161) was how Victor was able to die still knowing that the creature was alive and out in the wild.
