I am reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Why is it so difficult for Victor to decide to make a female creature?Victor was so obsessed to make...

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein,
Victor is obsessed with creating a creature. His motivation is sound: he wants to stop
death in its tracks. But he plays God, for no man should be able to create life, and
when he realizes what he has done, he is horrified. The creature is monstrous in
Victor's eyes: where he thought he was creating something "beautiful" with white teeth
and black flowing hair, he realizes he has created an abomination to man and God. He
runs away, never assuming responsibility for the creature he has
created.

Being rejected by Victor, the creature wanders the
earth, learning about nature, how to live, and the cruelty of people. The creature
becomes very lonely. When he meets young William Frankenstein, he believes a child
cannot at such a young age feel discrimination against one such as the creature for he
has not learned this kind of hatred and rejection.

William,
however, becomes hysterical and struggles to get away. When he uses his father's name to
persuade the creature to release him, the creature hears Victor's last name, and decides
to punish Victor by killing his youngest brother.

Once the
creature does this, he also arranges for the death of Justine. Victor hates the creature
and wants him dead, which is unrealistic with the monster's speed and strength. When the
creature gets Victor to sit and listen to his side of the story, Victor begins to feel
responsibility for what he has done to his creation. He finally agrees to create a mate
for the monster, who assures Victor that once he has a companion, they will disappear
forever.

Victor goes about traveling to other countries to
speak to those who can help him, while buying and collecting what he needs. However, he
begins to worry that if the monster has a mate, they could create twice as much havoc as
the monster has already done. And at the last minute, disgusted by what he is doing
(with eyes wide open as they had not been the first time), Victor decides he cannot
create the monster's mate, which spells destruction for others that Victor
loves.
