"I will be with you on your wedding-night." - pg. 123 among others
This phrase is one of the most repeated throughout the novel as it is very important. The repitition foreshadows an important happening on the wedding-night. What could happen is open to interpretation, and Victor had the wrong interpretation. He didn't realize until too late that the creature was going to attack him indirectly. He wasn't looking where he needed to and Elizabeth lost her life. This shows the intelligence of the creature. He is able to deceive and essentially defeat his creator, though he feels sorry for it later. The repititon is a telling clue that the creature knows what he is doing and is essentially unstopable. This gives the reader a sense of helplessness. The creature has the power to do whatever he wills.
