Detailed explanation-1: -To assuage his loneliness, rage, and pain, the creature demands that Victor “create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being” (p. 120).
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: In Frankenstein, the monster asks Victor to make him a wife so that he does not have to be alone. He believes that Victor’s actions were deeply unjust, and this is a perfectly fair request.
Detailed explanation-3: -He promises to take his new mate to South America to hide in the jungle far from human contact. With the sympathy of a fellow monster, he argues, he will no longer be compelled to kill. Convinced by these arguments, Victor finally agrees to create a female monster.
Detailed explanation-4: -Given these potential consequences, Victor decides he would be selfish to provide the creature a mate to save himself from the creature’s persecutions, so he destroys the female. It is a decision based on projected outcomes, but it misses the extent of the ethical problem.
Detailed explanation-5: -Yes, the creature demands for a female companion. He demands this, because he is lonely and does not have family like other humans do. The creature had been observing how the others had family and relationships.
