Taking back a promise (Frankenstein)

"Begone! I do break my promise; never will I create another like yourself, equal in deformity and wickedness." (131)

Prior to this event, Victor had agreed to make another creature. This creature would be a companion for Victor's first creation. However, the more he thought about it, the worse and worse his original idea of making another creature seemed preposterous. After the original monster had caused so much trouble and grief, Mary Shelley thought she would spare characters in the novel by refusing to make another one. This enraged the monster and continued to build tension between the two.
