A Reasonable Request

"What I ask of you is reasonable and moderate; I demand a creature of another sex, but as hideous as myself; the gratification is small, but it is all that I can receive, ad it shall content me." The cresture's request of Victor is nothing if not reasonable. Victor has caused countless sufferings to his creature, a creature whom he gave life and is therefore responsible for. Victor's fears regarding the creation of another like the creature who has already brought so much fear and destruction to his life is understandable, but he undoubtedly owes the creature this recompense. Not only does Victor owe the creature happiness after bringing him into a world that has only showed him malice, the creature assures Vicfor that he and his mate will be of no harm to Victor or the entire human race. "'I swear,' he cried, 'by the sun, and by the blue sky of heaven, and by the fire of love that burns in my heart, that if you grant my prayer, while they exist you shall never behold me again.'" The creature's response is incredibly reasonable, and even Victor's hesitance astounds me. He is heartless to even think that he can bring this living, breathing, and feeling creature into the world to let it live in despair. Victor owes the creature happines; he owes him the creation of this mate.
