I think Victor shouldn't go through with his request since it can lead to more death but I think instead Victor should learn to befriend the Creature and give him a real chance.

I believe that Victor should do as the Creature requests. We have seen what it is capable of, and we know how to stop it from doing any more harm.

I believe that Victor should not create a companion. To start off, this whole creation has already caused so much issues. One being the destruction of Victors family ( being murdered ) but also Victors own being. He broke himself down and made him mad. Victor should try to compromise on a alternative solutions.

The response that Victor should have is to not make the creature the female companion that he requests. The creature himself despite him having a tough entrance to life did enough damage. Now imagine if there were two of them, more damage could be done.

I think Victor should say no to the creatures request. Even though the creature thinks a female companion will make him happy he does not know how she will respond and react to the world. They will also still face bad treatment and it may lead to more people dying. I think that Victor should just be his companion and help people view him in a better way.

I think that Victor should make the creature a companion because his whole life, he was always different, so it would be good for him to have someone similar to him, and if he doesn't go through with the request, it can lead to more deaths.

I think he should respond by agreeing to help the creature because it is the right thing to do as he has put the creature through a lot of trouble by abandoning him, so he should feel obligated to do this for the creature. The creature would also not feel the need to harm any more people with a companion, and likely wouldn't cause trouble to anyone again.

I don't think Victor should give him a female companion since the creature is capable of harm and having another creature who is most likely capable of harm too probably wouldn't be good. Instead I think he should guide him and give him a chance.

I think Victor should refuse the request of making a female companion for the creature because it can lead to more dangers and deaths. If there was another creature, similiar to him, the damage will be 2x worse.

Victor's response to the creatures request should be that he can try to find a female companion but cannot guarantee it. Victor should gently explain that finding love isn't always easy and that it's not something that should be forced. Victor should definitely keep it very respectful and tender based on what the creature has faced in the past.

I think that Victor should create a companion for the creature to protect his family and help fix some of the creatures pain that Victor has caused.

Victor's response to the creature's request should be to accept it. Initial hesitance is acceptable, but after Victor hears the creature's story in full, he should at least fulfill the creature's request because it is the least he could do for the creature. Also, if he accepts the request, the creature and his partner would live far from civilization, so overall the request would be beneficial to both Victor and the creature. If Victor did not listen, then the creature guaranteed to kill more people, so it would be a better idea for Victor to listen to the creature

In the monsters request of Victor making him a companion, I feel that Victor shouldn't do it. Even though the creature said he would live in isolation with it, there is no proof that he is telling the truth. We also don't know how the new creature will react, and having 2 threats to humankind is a lot worse than only having 1.

kfetters27 — 2025-10-15 13:14:18 UTC

Victor should make the creature a companion to spend his time with. The creature can be good if he gets the love and emotions he desires. He has show much empathy and care for others and is only evil to get revenge on people who hurt him. If he had another one of his kind, then he would hopefully feel complete.

I think Victor shouldn't make the creature a companion. The creature is very lonely and wants someone that looks like him and its Victors fault that he's been created in the first place , but there is a lot of risk because if everything goes wrong then there is two creatures in the world messing everything up especially with all the damage the first creature already did.
