What About Your Wife?

    The creature tells Victor "I shall be with you on your wedding night" (123).  In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor believes that the creature means that he will be the one dying on his wedding night.  However, the creature is really after Elizabeth and ends up killing her.  The creature and Victor have parallel lives and it makes sense that since Victor ruined the creatures chance at true love and happiness, the creature will do the same to Victor.  The creature told Victor that he would hurt his heart before he hurt his body.  The creature was planning to do so when he told Victor that he will be there on his wedding night.  I do not understand that since the creature was already killing all of Victor's loved ones why he would not kill Elizabeth as well.  Victor should have been thinking about the possibility of it being her and not him.  The creature was only doing to Victor what Victor did to him.  To the creature, it seemed fair.  Victor killed his bride, and he would be sure to do the same no matter what.
