Despite the severe hatred Victor feels towards his creation, there is one emotion that binds them strongly together: loneliness. This can be seen multiple times in both Victor’s narration and the creature’s. Victor exhibits a strong sense of loneliness after William is killed because he cannot tell those he loves that he has made such an abomination in the first place. This depicts a kind of loneliness achieved by one who cannot show their beliefs and insights because of the disastrous consequences it has led to. The creature experiences a reflection of this feeling as he does not have a family to begin with. An indication of his loneliness is the fact that he requests a mate from Frankenstein in the first place. The creature wants to be able to feel loved and live with someone who would not shun him for how grotesque and unnatural he physically looked but rather to be cared for for his insight and beliefs.
Way too short and general for what I asked. Needs a great deal more thought.
