Darkness

"The cup of life poisoned forever...I saw nothing around me but a dense and frightful darkness" (Shelley, 134).

Ever since Victor Frankenstein created his monster, his life has been progressively getting worse. It is in this metaphor that he tells the reader he can never be truly happy again, no matter what goes on around him. Everything he has cared for is ruined because of his creation, and he can never forgive himself for creating his own worse nightmare.

It is his own "worst" enemy. Spell checkers can't fix incorrect word choices.
