I never saw a more interesting creature

- Walton about Victor pg. 17

By referring to Frankenstein as a creature, Walton is comparing the appearance of Frankenstein
and the monster, emphasising the parallels between the two characters. The weather conditions of
the scene symbolically suggest a foreboding sense of doom and mystery, which is common in gothic
novels.

You accuse me of murder, and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own
creature.
- Monster to Frankenstein pg. 119
This statement is quite ironic because Frankenstein is accusing the monster of murder, and
emphasising his revulsion of the idea, however Frankenstein himself wants to murder the monster.
The creature recognises that Victors easy willingness to commit murder places him on the same
moral plane as the creature, comparing the identity and morality of the two.

I gnashed my teeth, my eyes became inflamed, and I ardently wished to extinguish that life
- Frankenstein pg. 95
The strong imagery and descriptive language emphasises that Frankenstein is becoming the monster
throughout the novel, because his actions are leading him to become more brute-like. This
description is symbolic of Frankensteins transformation into everything that he hates.
