The end....ing.

"I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt" (166). This is an example of paradox. The monster, upon the death of Victor, is saying that in order to lose all sense of sadness, he must die. Most people would consider death to be a very sad thing, but the monster does not feel this way. He knows that he needs to die to lose that sadness. This paradox shows that the monster can be overcome by emotion. He is sad that his creator die. Though most of his life was spent tormenting Victor, he does feel a connection to him. This is an ending that really fits the movie. The monster once again shows that he has as much human emotion as everyone else. How sad.
