Cat and Mouse

"I pursued him, and for many months, this had been my task." -pg 150

Victor has revealed that he is startling like the monster. This may not be too far a stretch, seeing as Victor is in many ways, the creatures father. However, you would think that Victor would do anything in his power to decrease the evil he put in the world by balancing it out with good. Instead, the two, creation and creator, engage in a cat and mouse all over Europe, each intent on exacting revenge on the other, even though both are well aware that the monster is the only one with any real power. The monster has no one to love, and therefore no one to lose. So why does Victor so intent on chasing him? Death might even be a relief to the monster, not a punishment. Victor loves many people, but doesn't seem to care that his consumption with revenge is hurting them. For months on end, the two chase each other. It seems both pointless, and almost silly, like a childish game of cat and mouse.
