An example of this pursuit of happiness can be found in Frankenstein, when the creature becomes ill and tired of being treated like an animal by everyone else and of having no other of his kind, or simply anyone who would not run away if he revealed himself to them. He asked Victor to create another creature, but this time in a female version. He deeply desires a companion with whom he can finally sit and talk, feel comfortable, and perhaps even feel loved for the first time. "You must create for me a woman, with whom I can live in the exchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. Only you can do this; and I ask it of you as a right which you must not refuse to grant" (Shelley XVII). Victor agrees after initially saying no, but ultimately never creates another companion for the sad creature. It's sad how selfish and careless Victor finally gets a chance to make things right, he does nothing. Victor to me is like no other human being. He appears to show little to no emotion, is unable to be fully aware of the negative effects his actions actually cause, and appears to let happiness slip through his hands when he practically invites the creature to kill his love, Elizabeth. The creature, on the other hand, appears to be much more human despite not physically appearing so, he says: “In addition to being exclusively selfish, human beings have within them the rational capacity to pursue their desires in the most efficient and maximal way possible ”(Friend 4). This means that humans will try to do anything to get what they want, and this is where problems and conflicts start to arise.
