The Conclusion

"Farewell! I leave you, and in you the last of humankind whome these eyes will ever behold. Farewell, Frankenstein!" page 211

THis was a rather anitclimatic ending in a way. Everyone in Victor's life is dead and the monster plans to kill himself. Fortunately for me I'm one of those people who enjoy these types of endings. It was sad yet taught alot about human nature. We may be filled with anger and seek revenge but when we see the effects of our wrong doings we are remorseful. (If only the monster would have realized this before he killed everyone..). We also learn that our hateful actions will come back around to us. Both Victor and the monster realize that it was because of their own hate that so many people died. I think it would have been really interesting if the story would have gone in a different way. FOr example, if Frankenstien would have created the monster a lady friend. He mentions that he worries they will have children etc. I think that could have made a pretty good sequal.
