Victor Destroys the Female Creature

As Victor works, he is overcome by a vision of the potential horrors that could result from creating a second monster. He imagines a race of devils that could threaten all of humanity. In a fit of revulsion, he tears the half-finished female creature to pieces. The monster, who has been watching through the window, lets out a howl of despair and rage.
