The monster asks for a female companion and Victor does create this female monster yet he retaliates and destroys her because he doesn't want them to procreate. So the monster tells Victor that he will be him on his wedding night. Victor takes this to mean that the monster will kill him that night. Yet the monster has has many opportunities to kill Victor and hasn't done so. He wants to watch him suffer, watch his loved ones die causes Victor more pain than anything the monster could do when attempting to killing him.
Could Victor and the monster be the same person?? Are Victor and the monster one and the same person?? If they are one and the same, they why does Victor want to kill his loved ones??
-- Victor is the only person who actually sees the monster, hallucinations? Victor creates the monster because he is attempting to find a way to save his loved ones from death. He didn't want to live without them, so I think that in a way he could have possibly killed his family in order to save them from pain of death. In the beginning of the novel, Victor is the dominant character yet their positions switch towards the end. The monster becomes the 'master' and Victor becomes the 'slave' in their relationship. It is a "Master/Slave" relationship between Victor and the monster. Is this "wretchedness" that Victor achieves driving his actions??
