The Power to Create and Destroy

Victor's creation of the monster, lead to the lost of his loved ones. The monster had decided that he wanted a companion and would stop at nothing until Victor created a like for him. I thought with with a sensation of madnesson my trembling with passion, tore to pieces the thing on which I was engaged (Shelley 115). It was his passion for bringing life to death that lead him to the discovery of creating the monster. Victor, now realizing what he had done, made him skeptical, yet afraid of creating a like for the monster. Victor did not know what to expect by doing so. The monster felt as though he would be complete if Victor created an equal for him. You are my creator, but I am your master (Shelley 116). The monster knew very well that Victor had the knowledge and the power to create a like for him, after all, he, himself, was Victor's own creation. If Victor wouldn't create him a companion, someone to love and share his life with, he will destroy everything that Victor loves. The monster knew he had the power to do so. Victor had the power to create, but the monster had the power to destroy.
