Make out like it never happened, and that we were nothing.

"You may give up your purpose, but mine is assigned to me by heaven, and I dare not.  I am weak; but surely the spirits who assist my vengeance will endow me with sufficient strength" (pg 161).

If you haven't heard this song, then I recommend that you do so.  I can't decide if Gotye or Kimbra's lyrics are more likely the Frankencreature.

So you told us to blog about whether or not Victor blames himself for the happenings and I think the above quote is a major piece of the puzzle.  In the quote that I picked, Victor blatantly states that the mishaps were not his doing, but rather he was being controlled by a higher power.

Funny, the Frankencreature said the same thing about his own rage.

"I knew that I was preparing for myself a deadly torture; but I was the slave, not the master, of an impulse, which I detested, yet could not disobey" (pg 164).

While writing this blog I decided that the best way to characterize Victor, was through the Frankencreature himself. See, the two were very similar in that they were both driven by destiny, but their madness isolated each of them.  Not to mention that both of them were really tall and had yellow skin and superhuman strength extremely dedicated to the point of madness because of their passions.  Like non-biological creator, like son.

I think this blog post was pretty deep if I do say so myself.
