Face to Face

Victor finds an escape from his turmoil in the mountains which he travels through. They are unhindered by science and man and exist solely as nature. Nature is the only sanity that Victor can grasp in light of recent events that have led him to feelings of guilt, revenge and hopelessness. It is not surprising then when we find Victor's monster lurking in the same mountains. This is a classic "like father, like son" scenario. Only something created from the vision of Victor would seek the same refuge as he. It is perhaps not only Victor's curiosity to hear the monster's story that causes him to hold himself back from attacking but also an unconscious realization of how the monster has come to the same place as Victor, possibly proving worthy of Victor's acceptance. Both Victor and the monster are at peace in a place untouched by the harsh detests of humanity.
