"I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart."
Frankenstein, pg. 35
Have you ever thought something would be a really good idea, and worked so hard to make it happen, and then as soon as it does, realized it was probably the stupidest thing you have ever done, or that you really just don't want it that badly anymore? Yeah, me neither. Just kidding- I think we've all done that a time or two. Our mistakes probably don't have as terrible of consequences as Victor's, though. For so long, he had focused on one thing, thinking it was right and beautiful. However, as soon as he accomplished it, he knew it was a mistake. It was definately a turning point in the story for Victor. I don't really understand what caused him to believe that so vehemently, though. Yes, the creature was ugly. However, I don't think that means he is inherently bad, or should be feared, like how Victor believes. Give the guy a chance, already!
