Frankenstein

The creature kills almost every loved one in Victor's life; yet, the creature has a soul and conscious like a human. It has the same feelings as any other human being. Killing another human being can hurt the psyche of the creature as it would any human. It is not natural to kill someone who has done nothing to cause them bodily harm. In his revenge, the creature murdered Victor's family. His mind was not unharmed while doing so: "I recollected my threat, and resolved that it should be accomplished. I knew that I was preparing for myself a deadly torture" (164). He felt guilt, and these deaths did not give him any satisfaction. He still wanted a wife and to find love. Since Victor impeded this, his desire for revenge dimmed his guilt of killing his loved ones. After Victor's death, the beast was remorseful and vowed to live on the North Pole until his death.
