"You must create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do; and I demand it of you as a right which you must not refuse to concede" (page 104).
In this passage, the creature tries to reason with Victor Frankenstein and justify a way for him to make up for what he has done. He believes Frankenstein is to blame for how the creature turned out. Any evil actions the creature has done are a result of how Frankenstein created him; therefore, the monster believes Frankenstein needs to make up for creating him. He created him in a way that all man kind rejects and refuses to accept. The creature tries to achieve justice for this inadequate creation by stating that it is Frankenstein must make him a mate similar to himself. He believes it is only fair that he too be given a companion in the world. Frankenstein is the only person capable of granting him this request, and he is responsible for creating him in a way destined for rejection. Therefore, the creature tries to achieve justice with Frankenstein by demanding that he creates a mate for him.
