Though she’s not on screen often, whenever we see this character, she’s usually doing something unlikeable. For example, John walks in one day to find her doing a handstand in their modern living room while friends are doing drugs – a clear signal of how far she’ll go to get what she wants.

It’s a possessive, even dehumanizing request – he needs a female counterpart, and crucially, one who will be as utterly wretched as he is. He wants her submissive, and he wants to ensure she has no hope of a better life. Victor refuses to create this second creature, but the chilling possibility – the idea that such a being could exist – lingers long after you finish the book. It’s a truly unsettling thought.
