Dear all,
As I was reading the novel, I asked myself a lot why did Frankenstein refuse to give his creature a female companion, besides what he states. In my opinion, he could have avoided all this misery and the monster would finally have a friend (yes I'm definitely on the monster's side). If you were Frankenstein, without taking in account his excuse for not doing it, what would you have done ? Would you have given the creature a female companion ? Would you have trust his word ? C.

I wouldn't give in to the creature's plea in the first place; I'd reason with him explaining that it would be wrong to create a being to be the plaything or the keeper of another. It's a problematic premise.

This is a good point as it brings up the whole idea of consent - if Victor were to go through with it, who's to say that the "Eve" would want to be with her "Adam"?

I feel like making yet another being would be an even greater distancing from the situation and avoidance of responsibility. Comments are closed.
