In Frankenstein, Victor wants revenge on the monster so greatly that it becomes an obsession. Victor states, “Again do I vow vengeance; again do I devote thee, miserable fiend, to torture and death” (Shelley 152). Victor Frankenstein wants revenge against the monster because the monster was the cause of the deaths of Victor’s family and friends (152). He is threatening death on the monster and swearing revenge on him. This is the beginning when he wants vengeance on the monster, which then immediately turns into an obsession. Victor then states, “Never will I give up my search, until he or I perish…” (152). He wants revenge on the monster so much that he will not stop searching for the monster, until either he or the monster dies. This shows the beginning of his obsession, which was originated from his revenge.
