"I was now about to form another being, of whose dispositions I was alike ignorant; she might become ten thousand times more malignant than her mate, and delight, for its own sake, in murder and wretchedness."
pg. 120
Did Victor make the right decision in deciding not to make a female creature? It's a hard call to make, because no one truly knows what the female creature would be like. From what I know of the original creature, though, the being is not inherently evil, despite what Victor believes. Therefore, I believe she may have taken to Victor quite well, and they could have gone off together, making each other content, living in the rainforest, with everyone living happily ever after. Like a fairy tale. The end. However, I don't think I can blame Victor for not making the creature. His worries were valid- that the female would be even worse, that they would breed, that the female would not like the male, that the male would hate himself more because of the female. Who knows, really? Victor did what he thought was best for humans, and that's really all that matters.
