“Come, Victor; not brooding thoughts of vengeance against the assassin, but with feelings of peace and gentleness, that will heal, instead of festering, the wounds of our minds.” (Shelley 33).
This is another example of foreshadowing in the novel; Frankenstein does exactly the opposite of this later in the story, during his climactic chase of his monster, where he seeks to avenge his loved ones who were lost by torturing and killing their murderer.
