"Even if they were to leave Europe, and inhabit the deserts of the new world, yet one of the first recults of those sympathies for which the daemon thirsted would be children, and a race of devils would be propagated upon the earth, who might make the very existence of the species od man a condition precarious and full of terror" (pg 121).
This was my first thought when Victor agreed to creating a female monster. I foreshadowed little (or possibly gigantic) baby monsters running around South America. Who says that these little monsters would listen to their parents and not harm anyone? Nobody. I felt that Victor would be endangering the lives of many South Americans by creating this monster. Then again, who says that the female monster would want to be with the male monster? She would be completely unsophistacated at the time of her "birth." Maybe the male would take her in and teach her and all would be well, but maybe she would reject him as well. What would he do then, if someone of his own race rejected him? I honestly think he would go on a killing spree and end with himself.
