  2. Volume IIIImportant Quotations After Victor hears Elizabeth scream… “Great God! Why did I not then expire! Why am I here to relate the destruction of the best hope, and the purest creature of earth?” (241).

  3. Volume IIIImportant Quotations What is this quote saying? Elizabeth is a pure and innocent bystander. She is not the reason the creature is able to murder and destroy, Victor is. Victor is saying that he should be the one who is killed by the creature, not Elizabeth.

  4. Volume IIIImportant Quotations “A fiend had snatched from me every hope of future happiness: no creature had ever been so miserable as I was; so frightful an event is single in the history of man” (244).

  5. Volume IIIImportant Quotations Who is the “fiend” that Victor Frankenstein is lamenting? It is possible that the “fiend” is Victor himself. After all, Victor is the one who created the Creature. It is Victor who defied the laws and creature and this defiance has led to his ultimate unhappiness.

  6. Volume IIIImportant Quotations “Man,” I cried, “how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom! Cease; you know not what it is you say” (248).

  7. Volume IIIImportant Quotations Is there any significance to this? Yes, Victor could have been exclaiming these statements to himself before he created the creature. It is interesting to note that Victor’s pride in knowledge is what lead him down this destructive path.

  8. Volume IIIImportant Quotations “For this purpose I will preserve my life: to execute this dear revenge, will I again behold the sun, and tread the green herbage of earth, which otherwise should vanish from my eyes for ever” (250).

  9. Volume IIIImportant Quotations For what purpose is Victor dedicating his life? To revenge. He is suffering from a broken heart and instead of laying down to die, Victor will not rest until the creature is destroyed.

  10. Volume IIIImportant Quotations “Oh when will my guiding spirit, in conducting me to the daemon, allow me the rest I so much desire; or must I die, and he yet live?...Yet, when I am dead, if he should appear, if the ministers of vengeance should conduct him to you, swear that he shall not live…” (258).

  11. Volume IIIImportant Quotations To whom is Victor speaking? He is speaking to Robert Walton. Victor is asking Walton to take on his task of killing the creature if Victor dies before he has the chance. Victor warns Walton that the creature can be persuasive but not to fall for his lies.

  12. Volume IIIImportant Quotations “…I deemed it criminal to throw away in useless grief those talents that might be useful to my fellow-creatures. When I reflected on the work I had completed, no less a one than the creation of a sensitive and rational animal, I could not rank myself with the common herd…But this feeling, which supported me in the commencement of my career, now serves only to plunge me lower in the dust” (261).

  13. Volume IIIImportant Quotations What is Victor Frankenstein saying? Victor Frankenstein has lamented his past decisions to create the “creature”. He has decided that it was a mistake to create the creature. Victor is saying that he allowed his pride and his desires for “greatness” to cause him to do something without pondering whether he should.

  14. Volume IIIImportant Quotations “That is also my victim!” he exclaimed; in his murder my crimes are consummated; the miserable series of my being is wound to its close! Oh Frankenstein! Generous and self-devoted being! What does it avail that I now ask thee to pardon me? I, who irretrievably destroyed thee by destroying all thou lovedst. Alas! He is cold; he may not answer me” (270).
