" "I expected this reception," said the daemon." -pg. 68

Victor finally has to face his creation. I was surprised to find that the creature has become very articulate and intelligent. He obviously figured out a way to keep himself alive for two years without the aid of his creator. The daemon was obviously seeking out Victor in the hipes of talking to him. By introducing the daemon and having him tell his story, the author has created a frame story within a frame story. This blends and makes it harder to distinguish between the details of each character's lives. Already I was struggling to tell Victor and Walton apart, and now creature has been added. However, maybe it was the author's intention to have the characters blend because it creates a common theme, plot, etc.
