Frankenstein-Irony

"Let the cursed and hellish monster drink deep of agony; let him feel the despair that now torments me" (pg 150). Victor curses the monster and vows he will avenge the deaths of his loved ones. He pursues the monster so that he can kill him. It is ironic that he curses the monster to feel the despair he feels now when the monster is also in despair. He only killed Victor's friends and family because of his loneliness. He wanted Victor to build him a female so he would not be lonely so he threatened Victor. Victor agreed but later changes his mind so the monster goes on a rampage. He wanted Victor to feel the pain of being alone, the same pain he feels. It is ironic that Victor wants the monster to feel his despair after his loved ones were killed when they were killed so that Victor would feel the pain the monster endured. The monster and Victor had similar pain, but neither would sympathize with the other.
