Lesson outcome

I can explain how Frankenstein's attitude towards the Creature fluctuates throughout the text.

Show transcript
In Chapter 10, we see Frankenstein confront the Creature aggressively. Frankenstein regrets creating first Creature, and regrets his decision to begin creating the second one. Victor subsequently destroys the second creation, fearing the consequences of unleashing another ‘wretch’. Arguably, Victor has understood the consequences of his actions and has developed some moral awareness. Victor’s regret forces him to take responsibility.
