Buzz kill

“I almost felt as if I had mangled the living flesh of a human being.”

Here we are, the monster is just about to get what he wants- a companion. And then, Victor destroys any potential for a female monster. Here, Victor is yet again compared to the monster. Throughout Victor's life he believes he is going to marry his adopted sister; then, he puts it off and finally marries here. However, this was a long time in the making and they went a long time apart before they got married. The monster was keeping them from being together. On the other hand, the only thing the monster yearned for was compassion in the world. He wanted to be friends with someone or something. He thinks he has his chance when he persuades Victor to make a female creation. However, when he rips her apart, all hope for a companion is over. Victor is keeping them from being together. Both the monster and Victor are hindering the other from being with the person the long to grow old with.
