Frankenstein

"I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly, and exult in the agony of the torturing flames". (page 166)

In the end, the monster acts remorseful and greiving about the death of Frankenstein. I mean I was caught a little off gaurd because he had been so mean to him for a really long time! He was the cause of the deaths of every single person close to Frankenstein. He followed him, haunted him, and was just a jerk. I felt bad for the monster up until he started doing this, so by the end I really did not believe what the monster said. He should feel responsible for the death of Frankenstein. He had caused him so much emotional trauma and had just ruined his life. Why would he even feel bad? Because he didn't get to kill him himself? Even though he never said that is what he wanted to do, I felt like the monster wanted to because of all the messages and stuff about coming north. I also think that the monster was bipolar. One minute he is happy, the next he is not. How do we know he wouldn't be happy the next night that Frankenstein is dead? Lastly, he said he would commit suicide, but I was thinking that the ending would be the monster killing Walton or Walton killing the monster, something action-y! I was kinda disappointed by the ending, but it was still a good fit for the book. This would be because it fit the theme of guilt. Even though I don't believe the monster, there is not really any proof, just my feelings. So, the monster feels guilt and it causes him to regret what he had done.
