Uh oh, this is all we need. Victor created the monster to be something that he was proud of. He wanted it to be the pinnacle of everything he had studied up until that point. However, the creation ended up being just the opposite. The characterization of the monster is fairly indirect throughout the novel. We gain insight in the beginning about what Victor hoped he would be, and hen once the monster kills his first victim, the audience realizes through the eyes of Victor what the creation is really all about. Now, we see Victor envisioning a bunch of "mini-monsters" running around everywhere. This is all he can stand and he abandons the attempt. He has expectations of the new monster this time, and they are not high ones, unlike the first time around when Victor anticipated the monster to be something great.
