- “You are my creator, but I am your master; - obey!” (p. 149)
One would think the monster would be forced to follow its creators commands, yet Shelley illustrates an ironic situation. Victor tends to forget the power and authority this creature has over him. It’s true, Victor does not have to create another monster - yet avoiding the task is only increasing the monster's anger and desperate desire to have a companion. The monster possesses such traits as a master, as he has complete control over Victor’s future and the ability to destroy his life.
nice keying in on the irony here
