You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied
conscience, destroy your own creature
As the Creature's terms have just implicitly placed Victor Frankenstein
with the judges who have wrongfully condemned Justine Moritz to death, so
here, he recognizes that Victor's easy willingness to commit murder,
broached in the preceding chapter (2.1.2) and reiterated to the Creature
himself (2.2.4), places him on the same
moral plane as the being he accuses of having committed murder. If
Victor does not yet recognize his identity with his creation, the
Creature's plea is reinforcing their "ties" on every level possible.
