How will the dynamics of the two change

Part 1

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? Why or why not?

Question 3. The creature is furious when Frankenstein destroys his companion. Was the creature's reaction justified? Why or why not? 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 new found 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)?

Part 2

Question 1. Throughout Frankenstein, Victor addresses Walton with rhetorical questions: "Why did I not die?" He does this several times when describing his emotions when he sees Clerval dead in a casket. How does this affect your reading? Does it impact your reaction to Frankenstein and his experiences? Does it remind you that it is a retelling? Does it interrupt your reading? Does it enrich your understanding of the text? Does it add another element to the story?

Question 2. In a fever after the death of Clerval, Frankenstein imagines the creature attacking him: "Towards morning I was possessed by a kind of nightmare; I felt the fiend's grasp in my neck and could not free myself from it; groans and cries rang in my ears." Besides the monster actually killing Victor, what could this foreshadow or symbolize?
