At the beginning of Frankenstein not too many bad things happen. Everything goes rather smoothly with no major catastrophes. Then Victor creates his monster, Frankenstein. After the creation, everything seemed go downhill and one bad thing after another happened.
Victor realized what he had done when the monster finally came to life. Once his creation came to life Victor said, "How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe." (Shelley 34). From the the beginning Victor reecognized his creatoin as a catastrophe even though the real catastrophes had yet to occur. It did not take long for Victor to become afraid of his creation. The night his creation came to life he attempted to sleep but could not. He woke up to the monster standing over with, "his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me" said Victor about the monster. (Shelley 35). Victor was so terrified he left his apartment for the whole night.
This was just the being of the catastrophes that would haunt Victor. One might say that Victor brought this upon himself, which seems to be apparent. The monster that he obsessed over for so long to create ironically becomes his worst nightmare, taking the lives of the ones he loves, such as his friend Henry.
