"But I discovered no trace of him, and was beginning to conjecture that some fortunate chance had intervened to prevent the execution of his menaces; when suddenly I heard a shrill and dreadful scream."
When he first came up with the idea of creating the monster, Victor was probably not expecting the being to destroy his entire life and send him into a state of madness. I find it ironic that the project Victor spent months on of tireless work and research ends up killing the majority of those who are dear to him. Victor destroys his life for the creature and for what? Not only has the creature killed Victor emotionally by murdering William, Henry and Elizabeth, but he has also caused Victor to become very sick and weak physically. In a sense, Victor's great misfortune in his life is of his own doing. Victor recognizes this throughout the story by confessing to being the one who caused the murders of William, Henry and Justine in the Irish prison. If Victor had never conceived the radical idea to create a monster, then his life would most likely be in a much more happy and stable state. The entire story is related on one ironic event.
