This guy is nuts

"...I was seized by remorse and the sense of guilt, which hurried me away to a hell of intense tortures, such as no language can describe." Page 61

Victor describes how building the monster consumed him whole life. Yes, being driven is one thing, but being completely consumed is another. He goes on to say that the condition of his health declined as a result of this obsession as well. The obsession plays a role in Victor's duty of the play. He feels that it is his duty to create the monster since he set his mind to it. If he does not succeed, then he will fail in his duty and let himself down. Now, since he has set his mind to this, there is no looking back.
