NOTES

their's

The plural pronoun, following upon the substantive "species," makes us realize that Victor planned from the first to create a mate for his Creature. It is hardly surprising, then, that he acknowledges the justice of the Creature's desire when he is recalled to this expectation in Volume 2 (II:9:8). What in retrospect should be surprising is the fact that he simply forgets his original design.
