Frankenstein Chapter Summary

     Victor explains his great childhood his loving parents and adopted sister that everyone loved. Victor develops keenness towards science but once he gets to college learns he has been studying a "fake science", alchemy. He began to really enjoy science and liked his professors, but he grew obsessed with his work. Eventually, bestowed life into an animate creature and ends up frightening Victor Victor because of its hideousness. Henry takes care of Victor when he falls ill due to lack of sleep and never tells Henry about his creation. William, Victor's brother dies so he goes back home and ends up running into the monster instantly knowing it was him who killed his brother. Justine is accused for William's murder and is punished by death. As Victor roams the creature comes to him begging for understanding  his desire to have a mate. The creature tells him about watching the cottagers and learning about life and discovering that love is what he is missing. At this point the creature is willing to reason with Victor, a mate and he will go away and harm no one. But when Victor refuses the creature decides he is going to make his life miserable by taking away everyone Victor loves.
     I do not believe the creature should declare an "ever-lasting war" against his creator, Victor, as well as everyone else. I understand that he would be lonely and need someone to share his life with but honestly i feel like he should give up. He should keep looking for someone that will accept him for who he is because there has to be at least one person.
