What about the monster?

Why do you think the monster actually led Frankenstein so far? Do you think that after so much planned torture and pain for Frankenstein, the monster could change his mind so quickly? Did the monster ever really hate Frankenstein? If not, then why did he lead him to his death?

Immolation

Do you think the Monster will fulfill his promise? What do you think of him now?

What would you do? again...

What would you do if you were Walton at the end of the book when you met the monster? Would you have listened to him? Try to kill him immediately and fulfill Frankenstein's request? Would you let the monster go to kill itself? Why?

Oh, and if you were the monster, what would you do now that Frankenstein is gone?

Poor monster....

All this time we have been reading about the "monster", but who really is the monster? Didn't Victor create this mess? Do you think the author made this reference on purpose?

What if SHE found him repulsive

Is the Monster as guilty as VF in simply assuming that anything VF creates will love him? he wants free will, but does he allow his potential bride any?

Just HOW BIG is VF's EGO!!!

What about that scene where VF is thinking about how distraught Elizabeth would be if he were to be killed on their wedding night....geesh...do you think it has ever occured to him that he is not the only one at risk here? Grow up, Victor!

What would you do?

Put yourself in Frankenstein's position in chapter 17. How would you react to the monster's request? Would you refuse or fulfill the request? Why?
