In Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, Alfred Lansing recounts the tale of one of the greatest successes of the Twentieth Century. Ironically, Lansing's detailed account of the 1915 Trans-Antarctic Expedition illuminates the stark reality that Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition did not fulfill its goal. In fact, the expedition never even set foot upon the continent that they had intended to cross.

Although it may seem justified for Victor to create a female companion, it would ultimately reflect his lack of foresight. Victor’s agreement to create another creature is a direct result of the blindness he has to the despair caused by the creature. He also lacks the foresight needed to realize the grievances he would secure from giving life to another creature of the same malicious nature. The grievances induced by Victor’s creation reveals the ignorance of bringing another wretched being to life.

The creature created by Frankenstein learned by observing other people and he realized he should not be lost or lonely, and that he should at least have someone else there for companionship. That is the reason he asked Victor to make him a companion, but Victor did not go through with it. He was wrong for doing so because the female creature would only know as much as the creature would’ve wanted her to know, and if it was any more than that it was simply an observation. He would’ve also gone down in history for changing human society by advancing science. The creature just wanted happiness from life, and he depended on Victor to deliver that happiness.

(page 141 The creatures statement) ,this statement was right after the creature saw Victor destroy his mate and a statement that was given from Victor is, '' This demon has taken away my happiness with my wife , I am the most miserable person on

In Frankenstein, the creature is often times referred to as the “monster” from Victor’s point of view. The use of this particular word instills an image of a wretched being that should be feared in readers’ minds. While the creature did happen to commit some malicious acts, making it reasonable for readers to think this, there are several occasions scattered throughout the text that contradict this interpretation of the creature. During the creature’s narration, he describes his admiration for the cottagers and their way of life, including their virtues. He even went as far as to assist the cottagers with daily tasks, such as collecting firewood.
