Frakenstein

As Victor began his experiments he said "if no man allowed any pursuit whatsoever to interfere with the tranquility of his domestic affections, Greece had not been enslaved; Caesar would have spared his country; America would have been discovered more gradually; and the empires of Mexico and Peru had not been destroyed" to justify to himself of the creation of the creature. It makes me wonder that was disturbing the tranquility of his domestic affections worth it because upon meeting his creation he became traumatized. Also those events he mentioned had catastrophes.In the process of  discovering America many Native Americans were killed and entire populations of Native Americans in Mexico and Peru were enslaved or killed. Those events were terrible and he used them to justify his experiments, i believe it foreshadows that his creation, the creature, will go on to haunt him and do terrible actions.
