My rage is unspeakable.

“My revenge is of no moment to you; yet, while I allow it to be a vice, I confess that it is the devouring and only passion of my soul. My rage is unspeakable.” (Shelley 130).

This passage draws a distinct and obvious connection between Victor Frankenstein and his monster. Both allow their revenge to “be a vice,” and both are filled with “unspeakable” rage at the actions of the other. They allow this fury to be their sole motivating factor, and think of nothing but revenge.
