"On the evening previous to her being brought to my home, my mother had said playfully, 'I have a pretty present for my Victor--tomorrow he shall have it.' And when, on the morrow she presented Elizabeth to me as her promised gift, I, with childish seriousness interpreted her words literally and looked upon Elizabeth as mine--mine to protect, love, and cherish. All praises bestowed on her I received as made to  a possession of my own. We called each other familiarly by the name of cousin. No word, no expression could body forth the kind of relation in which she stood to me--my more than sister, since till death she was to be mine only." (Shelley 21)

I read this as him having a deep, deep obsession with his sister. He becomes so deeply involved with her that he sees her as his property for her whole life. He became obsessed with the very idea that she was his so far to even say that she is his only, that is complete obsession with a person.

"Besides I had a contempt for the uses of modern philosophy. It was very different when the masters of the science sought immorality and power; such views, although futile, were grand; but now the scene had changed." (Shelley 32)

Here you come to see that ambition would be a value of Victor's. He explains that he admires that even though their hopes wouldn't end up with results at least they are showing great ambition for their science knowledge.

This marks the spot in the story where Frankenstein starts to crave discovery. He is sitting in a lecture and hears the professor talk about the discovery that modern science has made. Discovery becomes one of his type priorities and he dedicates himself to the idea of finding something new.

"'Several changes of day and night passed, and the orb of night had greatly lessened, when I began to distinguish my sensations from each other. I gradually saw plainly the clear stream that supplied me with drink and the trees that shaded me with their foliage. I was delighted when I first discovered that a pleasant sound, which often saluted my ears, proceeded from the throats of the little winged animals who had often intercepted the light form my eyes.'" (Shelley 85)

Here we realize all that Frankenstein is discovering and experiencing for the first time. Through this quote we realize that so much is new to him and there's so much he still has to find to successfully survive. This quote shows the basic of discovery, the discovery that sets the foundation for every creature to live the rest of their life.

"He raised her and smiled with such kindness and affection that I felt sensations of a peculiar and overpowering nature; they were a mixture of pain and pleasure, such as I had never before experienced, either from hunger or cold, warmth or food; and I withdrew from the window, unable to bear these emotions." (Shelley 89)

By finding this quote I realized that all of these emotions that are so strong for him I think are due to his sense of loneliness. Seeing people being around each other and being happy because of it he realize how truly alone he is and that he has no one. The creature longs for any kind of relationship and I think this is where the author kind of brings you to understand him and you feel his sense of loneliness and despair.

This part of the book is definitely not the only spot that it is evident, but the creature is absolutely obsessed with the humans in the villages. Not there is a lot more for him to do, but day in and day out he just sits there and watches there every move. The only reason he learned to read and write is because he focused all of his energy and time into listening attentively to them. This is where the obsession has innocent intentions, but becomes bad because he just gets angrier and angrier the more encounters he has with the beings he's obsessed with.

"'This  was indeed a godlike science, and I ardently desired to become acquainted with it. But I was baffled in every attempt I made for this purpose. their pronunciation was quick, and the words they uttered, not having any apparent connection with visible objects, I was unable to discover any clue by which I could unravel the mystery of their reference. By great application, however, and after having remained during the space of several revolutions of the moon in my hovel, I discovered the names that were given to some of the most familiar objects or discourse; I learned and applied the words, 'fire,' 'milk,' 'bread,' and 'wood.'

(At the beginning of this quote "this" refers to the sounds he hears the villagers communicating in) The quote shows great ambition through the creature. It shows that he worked so hard to be able to begin understanding the language and he didn't have any sort of teacher for himself. For a killer monster that is true ambition and dedication to learn a language by yourself. Also, I think the author included this part to demonstrate that the monster was trying to be able to communicate and be friendly with them.

"I, who had ever been surrounded by amiable companions, continually engaged in endeavoring to bestow mutual pleasure--I was now alone. In the university wither I was going I must form my own friends and be my own protector. my life had hitherto been remarkably secluded and domestic, and this had given me invincible repugnance to new countenances. (Shelley 30)

This one obviously has to do with his loneliness and how feels about it. Except Victor doesn't seem to be upset about his being alone and looks more onto it as a new experience and adjust to him making his own companions.

For me this quote really demonstrates the creatures ambition for his goal of having a mate. He almost goes far enough to threaten Victor to give his consent when he says that Victor can't refuse. It really shows his desire for the girl creature and he basically says without the other creature he will just keep killing people.

"This interfered with the solitude I coveted for the prosecution of my task; yet at the commencement of my journey the presence of my friend could in no way be an impediment, and truly I rejoiced that thus I should be save many hours of lonely, maddening reflection. Nay, Henry might stand between me and the intrusion of my foe. If I were alone, would he not at times force his abhorred presence on me to remind me of my task or to contemplate its progress?" (Shelley 132)

I think the quote demonstrates Victor's internal conflicts which cause him to want to be alone. I think Victor just wants to be alone to think about what he's going to do, but he realizes that the loneliness is only going to cause him despair. Here Victor realizes he's going to be stuck with Clerval so he looks on the bright side of things and realizes it will be better for his thoughts if he wasn't alone.

"And if these were my sensations, who can describe those of Henry? He felt as if he had been transported to fairy-land and enjoyed a happiness seldom tasted by man. 'I have seen,' he said, 'the most beautiful scenes of my own country; I have visited the lakes of Lucerne and Uri, where the snowy mountains descend almost perpendicularly to the water, casting black and impenetrable shades, which would cause a gloomy and mournful appearance were it not for the most verdant islands that relieve the eye by their gay appearance; I have seen this lake agitated by a tempest, when the wind tore up whirlwinds of water and gave you an idea of what the waterspout must be on the great ocean; and the waves dash with the fury the base of the mountain, where the priest and his mistress were overwhelmed by an avalanche and where their dying voices are still said to be hear amid the pauses of the nightly wind; I have seen the mountains of La Valais, and the Pays de Vaud; but this country, Victor, pleases me more than all those wonders.'" (Shelley 134)

This part is just so cool to me I guess because they are both experiencing the same thing, but when described their experiences seem like polar opposites. Victor is depressed and just kind of getting through his days the easiest he can, but Henry absolutely enjoys the views and the idea of discovery that they have embarked on. Henry totally dives into this new discovery and all the discoveries they make of the world throughout the duration of the trip. His need and fondness of discovery and seeing these new things is like Victor's at the beginning of the book.

"He was forever busy, and the only check to his enjoyments was m sorrowful and dejected mind. I tried to conceal this as much as possible, that I might not debar him from the pleasures natural to one who was entering on a new scene of life, undisturbed by any care or bitter recollection. I often refused to accompany him, alleging another engagement, that I might remain alone." (Shelley 138)

This thought is very depressing because Victor has essentially become obsessed with being alone. The thoughts and regrets of everything that has happened with his monster has made him obsess over the possibilities of what is to come. After obsessing over this he basically becomes obsessed with his mistakes and regrets and constantly begins to focus on the consequences of his creature. All the depression caused by that leads to him just wanting to be alone all the time and he even becomes obsessed with his loneliness too.

"The shutters had been thrown back, and with a sensation of horror not to be described, I saw at the open window a figure the most hideous and abhorred. A grin was on the face of the monster; he seemed to jeer, as with his fiendish finger her pointed towards the corpse of my wife." (Shelley 174)

This part is when you find the goal of the monster, which is to make Victor feel as the monster does, completely alone. Through these past chapters you assume that the creature wants to kill Victor, but really he just wants him to feel the loneliness that the creature feels. It's just disgusting and the fact he would sit there smiling about his murder all to make his creator feel his loneliness. The difference in their feelings is that Victor is attached to these people and knows them and then has to feel responsible for their deaths and the creature just doesn't have anyone, but he never did in the first place anyways.

"As the memory of past misfortunes pressed upon me, I began to reflect on their cause--the monster whom I had created, the miserable demon whom I had sent abroad into the world for my destruction. I was possessed by a maddening rage when I thought of him, and desired and ardently prayed that I might have him within my grasp to wreak a great and signal revenge on his cursed head." (Shelley 176)

I think this correlates to his ambition in two ways. First, he begins to regret how ambitious he was considering how it all turned out in the end. Secondly, he lets that lead to him desiring the monster more and he gets the same ambition back that he regretted. But this way he was doing it for something that was going to end something terrible instead of starting something that could be fatal. I think something else is still going to happen that won't be positive since his reasoning and reality is blinded by his ambitious goals.

I think this will be really beneficial to Victor on many levels. One way is how the magistrate will probably become obsessed with the case if he really is caring about his job. I think with someone else obsessed and understanding of the whole situation will take some stress off of him and he will have someone else to communicate everything with. Second this way more people can find the monster and it will be easier to track down.

'I will exert myself, and if it is in my power to seize the monster, be assured that he shall suffer punishment proporinate to his crimes. But I fear, from what you have yourself describe to be his properties, that this will prove impracticable; and thus, while every proper measure is pursued, you should make up your mind to disappointment.'"

I think the magistrate doesn't fully believe that the monster exists, but realizes what Victor's been through and doesn't want him to discover more turmoil through people not believing or not trying to catch the murderer. The magistrate also seems to want to discover where the being is and what it is because it is something that crazy.
