Feminist view

The is an idea we had in class for our group. While creating the female monster companion for the creature, Victor has a realization of what this creation could lead to. Many of the possible threats she presents have to do with her being a woman. The story takes place in the 1700s which was a time where women were still very subservient to men and were only women of the house and mothers. Victor worries that the female monster may not want to be with the creature when she comes to life and might become "a thinking a reasoning animal" and "might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation". He worried that she might "become ten thousand times more malignant than her mate". The thoughts of the possibilities of the female creation being more powerful than the male scare him  more than anything leading to his brutal and violent destruction of the female creation.
