Question 1. Frankenstein destroys his second creation out of fear of her capabilities in this chapter. He feared that she would procreate, that she would be even more malevolent than her mate, and that she would not want to leave Europe. What do you think of his recognition of this second creature as a being with her own thoughts and feelings? How does Frankenstein's feeling fit with the time period of the novel?

Question 2. Was Frankenstein's destruction of the second creature justified? Defend your answer.

Question 3. The creature is furious when Frankenstein destroys his companion. Was the creature's reaction justified? Defend your answer. Did he have a right to deny the creature's request if you feel that it is human nature to want a companion? Was this Frankenstein playing God once again?

Question 4. The creature says to Frankenstein: "Slave, I before reasoned with you, but you have proved yourself unworthy of my condescension. Remember that I have power; you believe yourself miserable, but I can make you so wretched that the light of day will be hateful to you. You are my creator, but I am your master; obey!" The roles of Frankenstein and his creation are reversed: the creature has become the master, and the creator has become the slave. With the creature's newfound authority, how will the dynamics of the two change? What does it mean for the majority (Frankenstein and humans) to be afraid of the minority (the creature)? How is this reflected in our modern society?
