“For the first time, also, I felt what the duties of a creator towards his creature were, and that I ought to render him happy before I complained of his wickedness.” (Shelley 55).
This section is a contrast to all of the other “creator” passages—that is, the ones in which Frankenstein is shown as a creator, a maternal, god-like figure to the monster. In most of the others, the monster is attempting to convince Frankenstein to give him what he is owed, which is happiness and love, and Frankenstein is resisting. However, here, Frankenstein is agreeing that he must give the monster what he is owed, which is a mate.
