- “It is well. I go; but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding night.” (p. 149)
The phrase, “I shall be with you on your wedding night,” is a reoccurring symbol throughout the book. The monster’s words are very threatening and now haunt Victor daily. Victor also just ruined the dreams and hopes of the monster ever having a wedding night and life long companion, so seeking revenge on Victor is a priority the monster makes for the remainder of the book. Shelley intends for these words to be haunting, and therefore are repeated numerous times throughout the novel.
nice -- use of repetition in prose is often overlooked
