"Thus spoke my prophetic soul, as, torn by remorse, horror, and despair, I beheld those I loved spend vain sorrow upon the graves of William and Justine, the first hapless victims to my unhallowed arts." pg. 60
Victor is beginning to see the consequences of what his experiment are costing. He sees that innocent life has been shed because he did not look beyond making his creation. Rather he just looked at the prospect of succeeding. So now he is affronted with a mind so full of guilt it is hard to remain sane. He is plagued by the fact that he might have caused William and Justine's murder. One for something they did not do and the other for just having bad timing. Although I keep wondering what would make the monster turn murderous? It was never really a monster before that because it had not done anything to give it such a label. yet this act if done by the monster proves that the title for Victor's creation is fitting.
