"'Man,' I cried, 'how ignorant art thou in they pride of wisdom! Cease; you know not what it is you say.'" - pg. 149
This novel is filled with sin. From the beginning through the end. It all stems from the deadliest sin of all - that which is stated above...pride. The evil of pride drove Victor to create the terrible monster which sinned and murdered numerous people. The sin simply built upon itself, and it's a terrible cycle which is very hard to get out of. The monster actually showed earlier signs than Victor in getting out of it. But, his peers forced him into the terrible cycle again. The pride continues with Walton and is leading to his downfall. Thanks to the example of Victor, he is able to salvage his sorry state of sin. This novel speaks much to the terrible cycle of sinning and how it builds upon itself.
