"Yet when I am dead, if he should appear; if the ministers of vengeance should conduct him to you, swear that he shall not live--swear that he shall not triumph over my accumulated woes and survive to add to the list of his dark crimes" (pg. 155). At first glance, readers might think that Victor is only helping himself get over the fact that he failed to kill the monster he created. When I first read this passage, I thought Victor's request was impossible to carry out. Although, there would be a reasonable assumption to think that the monster would remain close to Victor since he did so on their treacherous journey. No only did the monster want Victor to surely follow him, but he also left him taunting messages to ensure his journey. Therefore, one can assume that the monster would want to know where Victor was at all times in the case that he would return to health and continue his journey for revenge. I feel like the monster liked having Victor chase him all over the world because it gave him a sort of companionship. His wasn't 100% lonely because he knew Victor was chasing him close behind. The monster had a messed up mind due to the fact that he killed people who were dear to Victor then asked for forgiveness, and also that he kept egging him on in his chase.
