When the monster initially requests a companion, Victor agrees, feeling that he has some obligation to make this creature happy. However, after Victor has some time to consider all the terrible damage this monstrous couple could do if they decided to be evil, he destroys the mate. This compels the monster to vow that he will exact revenge on Victor by killing everyone he loves and rendering Victor as miserable as he feels himself to be. Instead of resolving, in the end, not to give his creature a companion, Victor could have decided to do so. His creature swears that he and his mate would leave the company of humankind forever and never injure anyone else, and it is possible that this is exactly what would have happened. If Victor has created the female for him, it is possible, then, that Victor's best friend, wife, and father, at least, would have survived, and Victor's life would not have ended so early and tragically.
