• You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your
    own creature

    As the Creature's terms have just implicitly placed Victor Frankenstein with the judges
    who have wrongfully condemned Justine Moritz to death, so here, he recognizes that
    Victor's easy willingness to commit murder, broached in the preceding chapter (II:1:6)
    and reiterated to the Creature himself (II:2:6), places him on the same moral plane
    as the being he accuses of having committed murder. If Victor does not yet recognize
    his identity with his creation, the Creature's plea is reinforcing their "ties" on
    every level possible.
