their's
The plural pronoun, following upon the substantive "species," makes us
realize that Victor planned from the first to create a mate for his
Creature. It is hardly surprising, then, that he acknowledges the
justice of the Creature's desire when he is recalled to this expectation
in Volume 2 (2.9.3). What in
retrospect should be surprising is the fact that he
simply forgets his original design.
