He did not know that creating a monster would destroy him and his surroundings. After all of what happened, Victor finally breaks his secrecy and tries to convince a magistrate in Geneva but does not believe him. Victor finally devotes his life to destroy the monster. He should have left the creation of life to God and let everything come to its natural nature.
