- The creature orders V to create a female monster, with no regard to the females feelings at all. he want her to be able to cater toward his every whim, go to South America w him, etc
- Elizabeth has no power to stop her and V's wedding, and reading between the lines a bit she seems unhappy with the marriage
- no sting female characters, not even a little bit

However the book was written by a woman, which is important to keep in mind!!!

“You must create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do; and I demand it of you as a right which you must not refuse.”

“I had admired the perfect forms of my cottagers—their grace, beauty, and delicate complexions: but how was I terrified, when I viewed myself in a transparent pool! At first I started back, unable to believe that it was indeed I who was reflected in the mirror; and when I became fully convinced that I was in reality the monster that I am, I was filled with the bitterest sensations of despondence and mortification. Alas! I did not yet entirely know the fatal effects of this miserable deformity."

# data[].attributes.body
the creature genuinely hates his appearance, an experience echoed by millions of women in America. Beauty companies offer solutions to improve your appearance, and I wonder if that had been available to the creature, what lengths would he go to to improve his appearance? Would he get plastic surgery, fo on extreme diets, work out every day?

"More than three-quarters of healthy-weight adult women in the U.S. believe they are "too fat," and nearly two-thirds of high school girls are on diets. Attempts to lose weight start very young: Eighty percent of fourth-grade girls surveyed said they had already been on diets. The same percentage of women in their mid-50s express a desire to be thinner."

"Boys and men have traditionally been afforded more flexible beauty ideals, with their inability to meet an ideal generally having less negative impact on their social standing or well-being. In the twenty-first century, however, men increasingly hold themselves to narrow media-driven standards of physical attractiveness. According to a 2018 CNN article, men report watching their weight, experiencing body dissatisfaction, and using cosmetics or personal care products at historically high rates. Critics frequently emphasize the link between prevailing beauty standards and the fashion and cosmetics industries, which stand to profit from a large consumer base composed of all genders aspiring to an impossible-to-reach beauty ideal."

# data[].attributes.body
While the deformity of the creature is certainly more extreme than that of the average American woman, they are both shunned by the world for their looks alone. However, the creature is alone in his exile, meanwhile women make up half the population. This may explain why the average woman doesn't go on a murder spree to solve their loneliness, but perhaps the creature is the sane one here. If there were a single person every woman could point to (Like the creature can point to Victor) as the root of all their insecurities, perhaps murder would also be on the female mind.

Page through almost any magazine, look at almost every television show. Notice anything about the women there?

It seems as if there is literally one model—one who is thin, youthful, beautiful and who, in reality, represents perhaps five percent of women in America.

The monster allegedly commits suicide at the end of the books, and Victor fantasized about commiting suicide numerous times. In fact, I would argue Victor essentially killed himself by deciding to go after the monster, and also by destroying the female creature.

In the United States, beauty ideals have historically supported the notion that physical attractiveness is a crucial asset that individuals, particularly girls and women, should strive to achieve and maintain. Contemporary beauty standards projected in advertising and other media are shaped by social norms and cultural values. Media and marketing images both define beauty ideals and frame them as aspirational, even as critics note that ideals are unattainable by definition, especially in the age of digital manipulation.

# data[].attributes.body
The monster is completely exiled from the  human world solely because of his looks, and unfortunately he takes out that anger in a bad way, directly or indirectly killing six people: William, Justine, Henry, Elizabeth, Victor, and Victor’s father. That is an unintended consequence of people's biases.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital manipulation, aka facetune, perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards  that can severely damage your confidence. When people edit their photos but present them as ‘all natural”, it can mess up your perception of reality.
