Well, when Victor tries to re-create life using "the Creature," he succeeds. Then, Victor is horribly repulsed and fightened of his own creation, who only wants love and acceptance from him. When "the Creature" seeks out revenge on Victor by killing those closest to him, Victor promises to make a mate; however, when he sees the woman, he realizes the sin is too great, so he tears the woman apart. This angers "the Creature" more than ever before, and "the Creature" goes on to kill the only thing Victor truly loves - his new bride (beloved Elizabeth). All are unhappy. When man tries to emulate God, it is a sadistic, twisted mess that ends in the worst of things, including murder and tortured souls. The only redeeming quality at the end of the novel is when "the Creature" expresses sorrow at the death of Victor. He blames himself in essence for not being able to control his vengeance, so he commits suicide by burning himself on a funeral pyre. A captain of a boat whom Victor told the story to is truly sorrow-filled. He sees the entire story as a tragedy and a perversion of God's perfection, which can NEVER be reproduced.

Stop. Don't panic. God created man; right? Doesn't the Doctor in the book create the monster - and all goes wrong. Lesson here: man should not try to be like (emmulate) God because it will go terribly wrong. Now, mankind is trying to be God like with stem cells, human cloning, and lots of other medical stuff. This is easy. Chill. Enjoy. Keep your margins straight!
